How do you relax?
Teach my mind to rest though the billow rolls too hard,
Give my heart a solace in the storming sea,
Let me not be moved by fear when the terror roar,
In the midst of rage, cause my heart to relax.
Relaxation comes but with rest,
When hustling and toilings seems to sleep,
With a sign of fulfilment never to sigh,
No trouble, no toiling, the heart is cause to relax.
Rest is for the body after a busy day,
Sleep, sleep and sleep the weary bones cried,
Never will a weary mind go to sleep though the body is weak,
A burdened soul finds no solace even when the body is at rest.
State of the mind blows the piper,
Condition of the soul dictates the tune,
Until the tossing boat of mind finds an anchor,
Relaxation is but a tale told in the moonlight.
When night falls, the body falls to bed,
When mission smiles at accomplishment the soul resort to rest,
But how often do soul and body come in tandem,
Though body in bed, the soul wonders in dream.
Beautiful words. I like your gorgeous words. Soul food!

Yes, my soul does wander away from the bed where both soul and body should be at rest, especially if I wake up between 2 and 3am. It’s like feeling lonely even when you’re not alone.
