It's been quite some time
Since I took some time off the clock
And put its hands to rest.
So today when I woke up
It wasn't to an alarm,
I woke up to the sun instead.
I let my forehead at ease
And allowed the wrinkles to soften,
I stretched my arms a bit longer
And took my time to hatch out of that blanket of mine,
It was nice.
It’s been quite some time
Since I took some aroma off the coffee beans
And let them settle on my cup.
So today, I watched them brew for a while,
Then cupped my hands around the mug
And sipped it slowly.
Letting its warmth spread across my words that have been clogged in my throat for a while now.
It's been quite some time
Since I plucked some imagination off the sky
And figured the shape of the clouds,
So I laid silently in my balcony today,
Aligned my back with the ground
And felt every breath travel across my body.
I have been keeping myself a lot busy.
It's been a while since
I dusted the dirt off my spectacles
To get a better point of view of the things
I have been taking for granted lately.
So today while spooning my meal I didn't bite too hard on every morsel of food that I ate.
How I wish someone told me that working hard doesn't mean being hard
On yourself.
So today I relaxed my jaws a little bit,
Opened my palms up,
And let my shoulders fall a little loose
Because it's been quite a while
Since I took my hands off my phone,
My mind off my work,
My eyes my off my vision,
How I wish someone told me that taking a break can come without feeling guilty of taking it too.
Hence,
Today I took some time off
To release the thoughts off my head.
I made myself a tidy bed,
Put on my favorite music,
And closed my eyes to this world for a while.
Because it had been quite some time
Since I took this routine off from my chest
And gave myself some rest.
