Exhausted Wonderfully

May 19, 2007

Exhausted wonderfully I am
At the end of every day
Satisfied with the work I’ve done
Accomplishing the day’s vision

Today I can say I gave my all
Today I fought and won the war
Today I overcame resistance
With a clear conscience I can sleep

That warming feeling of tiredness
Envelops and soothes my muscles
Confirming the actions I took
Infusing my soul with energy

Life is the sum of many days
We tend to repeat in habit
The actions we take every day
And thus, our stories are written

Another kind of exhaustion
Plagues a good many people
The feeling of being tired of life
Grating the soul, energy sucking

I used to know that kind of tired
Until purpose bashed me in the head
My life became full in an instant
Of all the things I’ve dreamed of doing

Today I did what I said I would
So I don’t have to live with regret
My integrity is still intact
I know I can still trust myself

Fulfillment and meaning abound
As I fight evil by laboring
Apathy was killed long ago
Work and action triumph supreme

I crash into bed, energy spent
Tomorrow the battle starts again
A new day is yet to be conquered
Time to rest to go do it again
