Shut down.
Slip into
a shallow slide
under your sternum.
hide in a corner.
unseen, and
unheard,
if you breathe slowly
enough
so that
no one will know.
sigh under the stars.
those heavenly
embers attracting
and soothing
as they die their radiant death
before the swirling
tendrils of smoke
snuff out.
-just one of those days, surrounded by people, work, and noise. Too tired to feel in the end. Tomorrow is another day!
ah, then i hope as your eyes close you find peace....tomorrow is a new day...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI can feel you longing to get away, Dianne, and I echo your sentiments. (Unplug, people!)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a spa day Dianne.
ReplyDeletehow intensely i know this feeling:

when i feel like this, i have only one image in my head: lying in grass, yet floating above the world, eyes closed, until i fade away into calmness...
I've been there a lot lately. I hope the new day brought better things.
