Bored

I have lists of things to do,
lists I’m working through.
Still,
I’m bored.

I like my life
as mom and wife.
Still,
I’m bored.

I love my husband, children, pets.
I live my life with no regrets.
Still,
I’m bored.

Is that why the dogs run out the front door?
They are waited on, and well cared for.
Are they also
bored?

Pacing my cage.
A need to engage?
The lion
roared.

Put me on a chain.
Take me out of the mundane.

I should be satisfied
My life has no downside.

Still,
I’m bored.

Help me fix this restlessness.
Guide me with strength and gentleness.

Teach me ways to placate boredom,
and allay my psychic tedium.
