Couch Potato

Couch Potato

You’ve been thinking
you’re not where
you should be.

You’ve been
afraid
you’re lost,
overwhelmed,
anchored to that
couch by terminal
sloth
and fatal
procrastination.

What if
where you are,
right now,
is a portal to
The Mystery?

Where the
Magic
inflates your
Soul with
Joy
captured from
the laughing
breath
of a circus tent
full of
children.

Where you are,
right now.

What if fear of
where you are
is fermenting
more fear
by the gallon?

What if love
of exactly
where you are
is what opens
the door to
where you
should go
next?
