#APoemADay – Day 24 – I Forgot

I forgot

-       I misplaced myself

In the swamp of daily lists

The relentless to-do list

The busyness of the city

In forgetful busyness

            I forgot myself

            And my forgetting me

            Challenges me to remember

            To make a daily space to create

For busyness can dampen

            Muddy and eventually

            Drown a creative soul

            And here I must gasp for breath

I must cherish the space

            For the voice that sings inside me

            And hums with the business

            I am really here to do.
