The World Can Wait

Hundreds of unopened emailsMissed calls and unanswered voicemailsThe world can waitNotification alerts sounding on multiple devicesAnxiety rising with each digital tap on your shoulderThe world can waitYour old friend insomnia has come callingRobbing you of countless hours of both moon shadow and daylightThe world can waitPress pause as much as you need dear one because your needs have changedYou hold so muchSo now your mind and body and spirit have to catch up to the heights to which you have ascendedThe air feels thin because you are adjusting to new ways of breathing and beingIt's OK if you are tiredI know this sojourn feels lonely sometimes but just like you met others along the way, new companions will draw near who get the challenges of your climbIt's alright to rest and it's good to put everything on silentThere's no shame in stopping for a spell when you're wearyPower downCocoon yourself with what gives you lifeFind new ways to enter your restEverything will be there when you get back, LoveRemember that the world can wait
