menagerie

awaking with my eyes only half open

really wanting to not be awake yet at all,

i found a conference in progress in my kitchen.

now, i’ve no idea

what the topic of conversation was

perhaps plans of how to get out into the ever more spring-like air

or rehashing discussions they were privy to

after the kids went to bed last night.

i’ll never know.

but the level of concentration on their frozen faces

strengthens my resolve today,

reminds me

that nevertheless

i am absolutely expected to carry on

asking for help as i realise how very much i need it

and remembering

even tying it to my forehead if necessary

what really drives me

what really matters

what really counts

in this season

that is now

upon

me.

One thought on “menagerie

  1. they look as though they are concentrating very deeply indeed….

    The consensus at my job is that no one actually feels like being awake this week!
