There used to be a silence
an aloneness that went away.
I’d look back in longing
at those wonderful days.
Then it was messaging
and junk mail that clogged the mind
with a sense of ‘too busy’
even when there was enough time.
So it was unsubscribe and delete
and let’s talk on the phone
or goodbye for now
till your ‘too busy’ is gone.
Now there’s a silence.
An aloneness that I really enjoy
a quiet peaceful empty
with my hot cup of chai.
Because freedom needs space.
The lines goodbye for now till your ‘too busy’ is gone are meant as a reminder rather than a decision to create distance. A reminder that all relationships, whether they’re with family or with friends, need time and commitment.
