Numbah Two - On the Couch

Sitting down after

a long, stressful day

on a soft, brown couch

is honest bliss.

Letting the body

sink into the cushion

and absorb the stillness

of the silent living scene.

Taking a sip

from a shiny glass of ‘relax’,

releasing all the worries

of the rushed complications of the day.

Daydreamin’

about the crowded streets

of a faraway city,

filled with hidden identities.

Wondering what possibilities

lie in secretive store,

for my so highly anticipated

near future.

Pondering the idea

of the concept of worrying,

spreading across the nation

infecting minds elsewhere as well.

As my mind floats

ever so slightly back to my body,

the pressure is suddenly

lifted from underneath.

I open my eyes,

much like a child would

when it first sees the sunlight,

and I smile.

Not a smile of sadness,

fret nor worry,

but a smile of understanding.

A smile of peace.
