In My Cave Guided Meditation

When the world gets too loud,

And I feel too raw,

When my energy going out has expired,

I retreat to my cave,

And block out the noise,

Here there is little that’s required. 

It happens so fast,

My need to withdraw,

I often don’t know it until,

I’m yelling or snapping,

At those that I love.

That’s when I need to be still. 

So I take a deep breath,

And fight the loud voice,

That says I have too much to do. 

You don’t have time,

To go in your cave,

But deep down I know that’s not true. 

So I ask for some help,

From others who’ll hold,

My responsibilities for just a bit. 

I free myself up,

And shut down the screens,

And eventually, I finally sit.
