Day 217: Settle In

I will leave you with this idea of settling into something today. For some peculiar reason settling in to me refers to finding a more comfortable place, find a place to simply be. In between moving around so much during the day I often feel the need to find a space and a moment to simply settle in, be in sync with my thoughts and ideas and make sense of how things have been changing around me. I have realized that I had been chaotic with my work over the last couple of weeks and as the new semester goes ahead, I feel the need to settle in more and more. I hope you find your comfort zones too. Hence today is about this ubiquitous and yet simple feeling.

Settle In
Let me Settle in your home and heart
Two worlds that are never apart
While I sit by the waiting room outside your door
And with my thoughts scattered on the floor

Let me unpack a little burdens today
I have them a very long way
For I have known how to listen & rarely talk
I have learned how to be company on a long walk

Let me travel just a little bit more
I have moved along from shore to shore
I write to the thoughts that rise to the top
That tumble and fall in scribbles & an ink drop

Let me be invisible in between hours of the day
Planning & choosing the things that stay
I am momentarily plans only for moments that begin
I am writing more as I let my thoughts settle in.

The wheels on my car are off the ground for now
They rest unhooked, unhinged, kept somewhere in time
While the rest of the world travels still
I find comfort in knowing my words can settle in.
