Short Poem #9 - Rest

Feel a new morning through your cup of coffee

Open your arms and for the first hugs you know for the last 30 years

Look at the faraway midnight sky

Full of wonders, and questions that need no instant answers

Late-night walks to digest

Evening runs to where your legs take you

Hot, sour, sweet and salty of your home-cooked food

Sink into a couch watching your favourite show for the third time,

Stretch and tense muscles to pump adrenaline

A big happy meal prepared by women in your life

A quiet 10-minute meditation

Page after page, your journal

Wake up in the holding arms and realize it is real

Nails done, a haircut, a few more lipsticks to buy

Pick some plants and flowers for your tiny balcony

I shall rest my bones here

Let my mind wander freely

Refuel my soul

Rest…..

Rest is good
