Time With Me

Time With Me

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

What when through my mind, when what I needed, did not coincide with another person's need. Always so sensitive to others needs, they are shocked and a wee bit peeved when I put me first. DEAL!

"
I find myself desiring,
needing, craving,
time with me.
The world
has been a cacophony
of noise and static,
drowning out
the quiet voice of wisdom
within my soul.
I need the peace,
the solitude,
for listening to what soul
already knows
and mind tries to
comprehend
and those half truths,
questions and jumbled lines,
can, thankfully(!)
come to an end.

I think we all need sometime by ourselves to sort out feeling and thoughts without any influence or distractions from the outside.

Very nice, a bit of 'me' time is hard to find!
We have to try harder - enjoyed reading this :)

I believe everyone at some point in their lives need a little "me" time. Just so we can dive into our depths and find peace with who we are and what we want out of life. Or sometimes simply to relax. That's not selfish, it's needed. You told that wonderfully. Very well done Barbara.
