A day of forethought forgone and forgot,
my mind unclear and my heart beating fast
impulses pulling me this way and that
I work to achieve my intended task.
The rain interferes and slows up my day.
Shopping for furniture yields up a chair.
To the grocery store I wend my slow way
and my life seizes buying deli wares.
With errands complete and busy day done
pain begins and motion ceases for now.
I feel as though a long race has been run
my health has become my ultimate tao.
A simple day becomes busy in mind
when health of mind and body both grind.
