This couch cushion is my ship through
slumbering seas. I am afloat on a leather-
covered oasis, dry but not warmed in the sun
on an afternoon when I’d like nothing better
than arms around me, a chest to rest my head
a coccoon of blankets to keep the heat
deeper, to my bones. I cannot lift my arms.
I can’t stretch or shake free. Tired is a trap,
especially when it’s paired with the sucking
greed of depression despite the meds,
the exercise, the eating right, the oils,
the support, the love. Cover me in branches,
make this ship a bier. The only way to warm
this heart is to set the couch on fire.
Rest @shawnamawna, rest, this season is calling for you to experience the under currents of life, what appears to be in the shadows, and many things that are so much not like you. Depression for me has felt like being dropped at the bottom of a well naked and cold. Its an icky funky feeling that may seem to take hold and don't want to let go. But just remember the soul of you. The real you which has nothing to do with low vibrations, flesh or even bones, nothing else matters during these times and nothing that is of excess must be allowed to be a part of this leg of your journey. Imagine the wings that you do have that will lift you above and beyond being bothered. and rise my kindred sister rise and breathe through it all. Sending you loving energies and holding the space in knowing the world needs you and the gifts that you are yet to bring us that only you can bring. Loving you much @shawnamawna.

On this snowy day, a "sunny day on the beach" (as Elizabeth calls it) sounds so luxurious and exactly what is needed to beat this tired.

Yes. It’s drizzly here. Fairly warm, but just dark enough to make my brain sad.

This is a form of poetry @shawnawma. The words are deep and the meaning intense yet only a similar mind can decipher this....
A point always come in our lives where rest is really essential but the form in which it comes is not adequate enough to give us that satisfaction. That point, we need somebody around, somebody to lean on and whisper our worries
I think I understand your words better.

Stay afloat, you can get through this. Love the words that you have chosen to describe where you are at right now. Feeling the pull, but still afloat and some how not uncomfortable? x

Please don't set the couch on fire. I know at times like this, everything is cold and dull. Just remember that you have a section of cheerleaders waving their pompoms in your direction, motivational-y. :)

I guess this poetry is about relaxation. It is pretty cool, simple, brief and
understandable. You really need this relaxation because your body, mind have
been through a lot after the hard work of the day. It is always good to rest
because it revitalize your brain and body. @shawnamawna.
