Oh River

Oh river,
Where do you flow to?

Oh river,
Who else is looking at you?

Oh river,
What lies below your surface?

Oh river,
Why have you captured my focus?

Work That Needs Doing… Later.

Work.
There is always work to be done.
Real work, busy work, work I make for myself.
But it doesn’t need doing right away.
And so I procrastinate.
It will bring stress later on
When it is multiplied.
But I’m okay with that.
Now, the real problem is
That I may take time now to relax and enjoy life,
But the thought of work still lingers
To trouble my mind
And prohibit relaxation.
And still I procrastinate.
