Tired 
by Carl Josehart

Tomorrow I will be strong
not today
today I need to be weak
and slow
and lazy
and maybe a little irresponsible

Tomorrow I will fight
not today
today I need to submit
and let the world choose its direction
even if it meanders off course
detours from the desired destination

Tomorrow I will rise
not today
today I need to fall
and stay down
not forever
just long enough to rest

Tomorrow I will carry the weight of the world
not today
today I need to lay the burden down
today I need to be carried
not far
just far enough so see the horizon

Yesterday I was strong
tomorrow I will renew
and today
today is for rest
today is for release
and to sleep and perchance to dream of strength renewed
