Carrie Newcomer - I Meant To Do My Work Today

I meant to do my work today,
So many plans I had made.
I'd check the mail, I'd make the calls
Save the world and sweep the hall,
Finally get my accounting done,
Sort the beans one by one,
But I got waylaid by the morning sun.
And I got absolutely nothing done.
I thought I'd live a louder life.
I'd learn a lot and get it right.
I'd rent a loft I'd drink all night,
I'd be a living archetype,
And in a blinding flash of light,
I'd see that one great insight,
But silence called me deeper still.
Like nothing else ever will.
I woke to hear an owl nearby,
Hunting something large enough to cry.
Nature's always beautiful,
The change of season always right,
The moon shines cold and true and bright,
And sets at dawn with
