Stolen Self Care

Warm moments

unguarded

music dancing

coffee steams

slow change

sun rise

turning the sky a rosy pink

golden hues

temptation to misbehave

curls lip

in slight smile.

To play hooky

to all in sick

to take this day

for me.

Drive to the mountains

walk in crisp air

acknowledge vastness

greatness

how small I am

in the grand scheme of things.

Drive to the ocean

walk the deserted beach

sand between the toes

dance in dance out

mini waves lapping toes

eating away at my trail

no one shall follow

no one shall know.

Drive.

Window open.

Scents of summer

corn

heat

sweat

burning cigarette

turning face towards the sun

absorbing heat

wellness

a flower re-blooming

in spring weather

after a long cold winter.

Drive.

Think.

Talk.

Love.

Laugh.

Alone.

Taking care of me

for one day

before returning to it all…..
