listen
can you hear it?
can you?
try harder
listen
turn off your phone
put away the computer
step outside
there-
do you hear it now?
nothing
that's right nothing
the peace and quiet of outdoors
small rustle of leaves
children laughing in the distance
breeze moving the hair out of your face
take a breath
in out
it's okay
life can be stressful
go outside
take some time
serenity
drop your shoulders
unclench your fist
stop bouncing your leg
save that stress for later
now is now
you have time
it'll be okay
