I
am running around everywhere
at
home, at the office and store
to
gather up my thoughts
keep
myself ahead of the game
I
wish I could leave this rat race
behind,
to sit in complete silence
by a lake and think about
nothing

This is definitely a relatable sentiment. Sitting by a lake and completely relaxing sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteAs do we all! Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are a mind reader. Let's gather at the lake.
ReplyDeleteLet's go 😂
DeleteThe beauty of complete silence is thinking of nothing.
ReplyDeleteah yes.....I remember the days of the rat race. Rejuvenated now (never say retired...it's rejuvenatement not retirement), I shake my head and wonder how I ever kept up that pace? Do find time to, as they say, smell the roses.
ReplyDeleteI left the rat race four years ago and am still running around! I sometimes wonder if that is what we're here for, like hamsters (or rats) in wheels, to power the universe!
ReplyDeleteEven by the lake, it catches up with you. We are never free from worries, but we can dream.
ReplyDeleteTrue Jane
DeleteSometimes I would like to do that... to breathe and then maelstrom back again
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone ☺
ReplyDeleteIt really is important to have that silent time to gather ourselves and our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good wish, so far so good. Now next step. :)
