De-Stress

Raindrops, umbrella down, happiness seeping within, 
Barefoot, wet earth, puddles mean no harm.
Sunrise, view through your window, bask in the charm. 
Bus ride, winding streets, picturesque, 
Old building, cityscape, post office, everything seems so new
Hi, hello, smile more, look around.
Doorbells, hawkers cry, cat's purr, sound of laughter, hark.
Cancelled plans, decelerate, let out the caged lark.
Chit chat, lunch at home, a simple affair.
Family, phone calls, Monopoly, friends, thoughts to share, 
Distant memories, no clock ticking, April breeze on your hair. 
Daydream, trace the clouds, lie on your back.
Kites in the sky, rainbow, butterflies, what are you chasing?
Are you done planning, analyzing?
Little things, pretty things demand your attention, Waiting. 
De-stress, stare into nothing, nothing at all. 
Talk, tap your feet, heads up, laugh so hard.
Photo albums, yellowed pages of story books, radio.
Office files can tarry on your oak wood table, stereo.
Breathe, live, count days, do, do nothing at all, fall.
In love, cry, feel, pray, breathe, you're only Human.
Street lamps, night guard's whistles, lullabies, fairytales, your eyes once shone.
Slow down, halt, pause, unwind, work isn't yours, yours alone.
De-stress, unwind, you've been carrying the world too long.
Let down your guard, you ain't that strong.
