Unfinished
Let’s take a break.
A great peace
spreads throughout my body
as I reflect upon yesterday
and not saying everything
I could’ve said,
and not doing everything
I could’ve done.
My life is speaking
through my experiences,
telling me repeatedly:
let your day remain unfinished
and you will learn
this world is forever becoming.
So there is nothing unsaid
and nothing left undone
needing to be said or done.
Trust all the spaces in-between.
