Meditative Valentine

More and more I feel my mind
Resembles a static radio station
Receiving two opposing signals
One that wants me to wander around
Going from thing to thing
Until I finally fall asleep and one
Who returns to push me awake
And tells me to pay attention
To put my life in my open hand
And watch what happens when
I am not the center of the world
But immediately that reminds me
Of some other thing I have to do
And off I go chasing some distraction 
Until suddenly you intervene again
who are you anyway to yank me back
Admonished and momentarily redeemed
