My dog lays snoring on my feet,
The comfort of relief is sweet,
Rest my head,
Close my eyes,
As every part of me sighs,
Swallow, deep breaths,
Tingles all over like little deaths,
Of the stress that has been weighing my head,
Down onto my shoulders like a ball of lead,
I pause thought,
Relish in the breathing,
Oh just to be,
To be and not do,
To be and not worry,
Comfort in knowing there is an intermission,
That I no longer need permission,
Distant sounds cannot faze me now,
For I have stumbled upon something grand,
Something beautiful as tiny crystals of sand,
Falling through the fingers of your hand,
I have found peace,
I wallow in it,
I bathe in it,
It is my bath,
It is my garment,
It is my soft bed at eternal day's end,
It is like the warmth of the smile of a friend,
I have found peace so dear,
I have finally found it when it was so near.
