A Poetic Moment Pondering The Importance of Rest and Why Balance Matters

When one gets extra busy flowing through their day in the way they think ’tis right,
Often comes a point where ones tired… know they should rest a moment yet don’t,
Despite being completely quanked one pushes on through task after task,
Rather than resting and replenishing their being so they can thrive another day,
They continue until they’ve no choice for they’re medically unable to even ask…

Yet what does pushing our bodies beyond what they can handle without adequate rest,
Even get us in the longer moments to come? Is pushing ourselves in this way truely any use?
For though it may seem in the moment like one may be getting ahead in some way,
Are you actually? For if one’s forced to rest in a later for longer than a moment,
One shall find themselves either back where they’d be if they’d rested or enduring greater delays…

Thus if knowing the universe shall always bring balance even if we push through our limits,
’Tis it any use sloughing away through fatigue ~ just to take a lackadaisical moment later…
For balance shall always conquer even when one does their best to stick through their plans,
To fit all they can into every available second trying to make the next moment greater!

And so as one surrenders to the balanced planning of the universal timing divine,
Though it may feel a touch counterproductive as ones productivity aligns,
’Tis always a touch more seraphic to strive to stay within ones balances limit,
Throughout each day as ones efforts in each moment forwards evolves and combines.
