Acedia

Luxuriate in ignoring the daylight seeping through the shades,
mingling with the dust in the air to create sunbeams.

Revel in the warmth of the down comforter cradling you in comfort unsurpassed,
keeping you safe in your little cave.

Savor the sweet sounds of the waking world outside and know
they are not for you, they do not matter.

Cherish the fact that you have no concrete plans for the day,
that you are unbidden by anyone to do a single thing.

Enjoy the feel of your flesh sliding slowly against itself,
how soft, how delicious and sensual you can truly be.

Love the knowledge that others are working hard,
living the rough life and you can lie here in your pillowed bliss, safe and sound.
