find a way to rest
a position easy on your back
your mind
find a way to love
to think straight
to remember
to not think at all
whisper
a prayer
a song
a knock knock joke
a scripture
find a way to breathe
to not be annoyed
to respond kindly
to eat
to not eat
bathe
my friend
let water pour over you like a good laugh
be still count the ways
darling
all the ways
one
two
count the commercials
four
five
the clock ticks
nine
ten
the times you hit the space bar
pet the dog
feed the cat
breathe again
again
sit still
let the thoughts come
my love
let them sit a while
open a window
dear heart
and let them all
free
