Poem: Lazy or Rest!

Have I gotten lazy, or do I just need to rest?
The weight of the world sits heavy on my chest.
I used to move with a spark in my step,
Now I drift like a dream I can’t quite forget.

Is it the weary or the pull of the days,
That slows my pace and clouds my gaze?
My mind whispers, “Just take a break,”
But my heart wonders if it’s more than that at stake.

I’ve been running for so long without a pause,
Chasing shadows, ignoring cause.
But now, the stillness feels strange,
Like my soul needs a little space to change.

Am I lazy, or simply too worn?
Is it the rest that I seek, or just time reborn?
Perhaps I’ve forgotten how to stop and breathe,
In this world that demands I never leave.

So I’ll rest for now, let the silence settle,
And in the quiet, my thoughts will gently meddle.
And maybe then, when I rise once more,
I’ll know if I needed rest—or something more.

Thank-you for reading.

Much Love and light,

Brenda Marie
