Cave Days

I needed my cave days. ~ Miranda

Life builds to a frenzy sometimes.
It pulls from all directions,
commitments overpowering,
lingering colds, exhaustion,
sleepless nights, lethargy.
Heavy things call,
the need to go deep, to go inside,
to be spiritual. You need to
raise your hand, ask for respite time,
for a day off. But no grownup
has the power to grant your wish.
You grasp the truth that grownup is you.
And with permission you seek
the Power who can fix it.
