Capacity reached is written in response to a word prompt provided by Miss Kate over at Five Minute Friday. Sometimes, life gets to be a bit too much you know?
Capacity Reached
it happened,
just the other day,
too much happening,
the world felt too busy,
with me locked inside my head.
tears came,
unbidden they were,
hot and fast with shallow
breaths that made talking hard
but slowed down the busyness of my head.
a child listened,
“mom, how can I help?”
“what do you need done first?”
and slowly, it seemed too slowly,
the words came and furniture moved,
a picture went up,
and a landing was tidied,
which lends to a new bedroom
to be finished, which meant that
the office to now by a play room for
Puzzling, and lego,
with a CD player coming
for listening, reading, and
just general relaxation for bodies
too busy living, and needing to chill.
and so,
capacity reached,
led to communication and
help received, and life being
lived better by everyone living within.
“capacity reached,
led to communication”
Yes! sometimes when we have reached capacity we need to let our people know. How can we receive help if no one knows?
precisely. 🙂
