Take A Break

Today I decided to take a break

To smell the flowers on the way

Feel the grass beneath

To hear the chirping birds

And see the setting sun.

Today I decided to take a break

From worries and expectations

Not only from others but myself too

To slow down a bit

To tame the racing thoughts.

Today I decided to take a break

To care for things that matter

To not wander outside but peep inside

To join the missing dots

To connect me to myself.
