Sometimes a rest

Had a weekend of days enlongated to fit
five of the then actually, welcome to whit
which I'd planned for myself thinking of it
as a rest is needed sometimes

Planned nothing save being the best of me
five days to do little but lounge and be free
which all of you workers will know and agree
as a rest is needed sometimes

Becoming rested

And so it was with week of sun
the holiday was true begun
and this no brainer not to shun
for it afforded hours of fun
whether walking or a run
many miles with evening done
for cooling down and sunset come
and no apology for pun
afforded by the words now spun
the rested and appeased become

Easter unexpected

Good Friday came up quickly

as it was in disguise

so the long weekend of Easter

kind of took me by surprise

Mind you it is a nice one

to get when least expected

four days to enjoy once more

most welcome and respected

A haiku for Sunday

Quality of life
seized in every moment of
this Sunday of rest

Music days II

Some days are for music
just sitting inside
and listening well for a while
as with much affection
here in my collection
I’ve plenty to bring me a smile

Holiday V

First day of a week off work
and it’s a welcome thing
as I’m in need of a long rest
a chance to breathe and sing

Put my feet up for a while
with lie-ins every morning
Rising when more sensible
and not when day is dawning

The passing of days

To the week that was
That has now passed
It’s had its ups and downs
Some high times
And some lower ones
Some smiles and yes, some frowns

Particularly Sunday

Don’t have a problem
with most days
They fly by when I’m busy
though sometimes
when there isn’t time
I might get in a tizzy

Longing for Solitude

could
i duties
leave

voice
were not
noisy

speed
away to a
quiet

dream
retreat
alone

Just as well

It felt just like the weekend
and for me that’s what it was

Fridays

Fridays come and Fridays go
and most of them are great
But today’s an extra special one
Now here, well worth the wait

The Crossing

While hiking on a lonely trail,
My goal: another mount to scale,
And feeling rather wearisome,

All in a Day’s Work

Running
going
never
stopping

Spring Break

heavy heart
cluttered mind
pain and confusion
had to be left behind

wandering soul

Home III

It’s always with some pleasure
when I have been away
Getting closer to my home
at the end of a long day

Had a week off

Had a week off
didn’t do very much
just listened to music
and reading and such

Tidied a bit
sorted some stuff
and to be perfectly honest
that was enough

Symphony

Rest is a note, a part of the music. Silence! But it’s necessary.

Life is a continuum of a great symphony.

Breathe

Breathe

Slow

Be

Know

Retreat

Rough-hewn, wind carved
Gnarly bark,no pattern alike
Leaning a bit to the east
Giant pines stand guard

Breathe In Me

I Close my Weary Eyes
And Sigh
I Rest my Breath Upon
Your Bosom
I Exhale Chaos

Bagel (haiku)

Battery recharge
late start and rest today with
hot buttered bagels

Sun – haiku

 

Another week starts
And, refreshed from the weekend,
I welcome the sun

Jim-jams day

 

Jim-jams day
Warm inside
Out there people
Slip and slide

A Little Piece of Me

I want and need my quiet time to think and write and be.
A tiny place in the world where I alone am enough and have time wonder, rest and see.
With a few moments to breathe and take care of myself because I am more fragile than I seem.
