we have been programmed to be constantly moving and never relax
it’s hard to switch off but we need to remember to stretch and relax
we look at the day as a series of hours to be overcome
why can’t we just say i have done enough this week i’m taking a nap
you know who they are the ones who need a reason to not race through life
it’s hard to relax when things that do not matter are running our lives
a day spent watching as the world hurries about requires comfort
the warm breeze cools relaxing with lilac scent as summer begins
sometimes it’s a stretch making sense of a story then you stop reaching
stop for a minute and relax into stillness and see what gathers
