The Hour We Left Unscheduled

 ðŸ•Š️ A poem about untethering from urgency and reclaiming soft time


The Snap We Didn’t Hear

The tether to the tower broke with only a soft, cotton snap. We hadn't noticed the taut wire, the line that ran from wrist to clock, from breath to inbox, tight and thin— until the moment it gave up.


An image of a person sitting alone on a window seat, looking out at a soft, cloudy sky. Their hands are resting in a position of complete relaxation, emphasizing a feeling of peace, quiet, and disconnection.

The World Spun Without Us

And nothing shattered. The sky held, the bills still slept upon the counter. The world, convinced we owed it speed, spun on without our anxious hurry.

Becoming the Lifted Anchor

We learned to be the anchor lifted, a small boat drifting on its name, with only wind for destination. No longitude, no urgent bearing, just sun that warmed the quiet deck.

The Unspooling of Must

This hour, it is a blank receipt, a word our calendar forgot. We let the threads of must unspool, not into chaos, but clean silk. The greatest freedom we can claim is simply the one we do not schedule.

Welcome Home, My Love

The Ritual of Softness  As the evening settles, soft and low, your presence lights the shadows, making them glow.  Welcome Home My Love  This quiet knowing, a comfort deep and true, connecting me to you. Thanks, because I know you were thinking about me throughout your day.  I'm sure it must have brought a spike of lightning to enhance your day, especially the moment after you called.

The Field of Light As vibrant as your smile, may your day be sunny and bright,  filled with delight and adventurous paths. Wishing You Sunshine and Smiles Hey, how was your day?

Urge

Night's Unlit Path of Thought With every passing moment, the body aches and the core begs.  A restless yearning in the quiet of night, patiently awaiting your return. Unruly Yearning I was in mood to misbehave.  I told him so while he was at work.  He later laid out his terms, and I accepted.  But the moment we hung up, I returned with these words: "Yes, you spoke, but with every passing moment. The Irrepressible Ache my body aches for your touch.  My very core can't seem to stand still;  she just keeps on begging.  The more I try to keep her at bay, to quell this vibrant fire, to make my spirit wait, the more she calls out your name, a siren's song, a wild, insistent fate. A Battle Within My thoughts, a tangled thread, unwinding in the dark, each one a vivid image, leaving its potent mark. I pace the silent rooms, where shadows softly creep, and conjure your returning in the moments I can't sleep.
