Take a break! (a poem)


Pull apart the curtains and let the sun shine through
Let it surround you with its bright yellow hue

Fall back in bed and look at the skies
Without a worry of magnanimous size

Stretch your arms out till the muscles strain
Let out all the trouble and pain

Run out like the finish line is near
Don't look back, only chase after the fear

Kick off your shoes and tiptoe the sea shore
Bury the things you don't need anymore

Feel the ocean breeze toss back your hair
Fill it with salt and sand layer by layer

Cartwheel and jump and dance
Make animal shadows with both of your hands

Throw you head back, topple over with laughter
Have not a thought about what is to come after

Turn yourself around and give it a shake
Somedays all you really need is a break


Ten minute journaling: Morning time


6.25 a.m. aaaaand go! The plan was to do five minute journaling right after fajr, watch the sky change colors, the birds come alive from their slumber.
