The first relaxing moment in hours
the first chance to let down my hair
and lay back amid a bed of flowers
The road ahead is far and long
but as I lay I know I will be strong
to face my obstacles and my demon
And I know that when I reach the end
I will be rid of my past and be a freeman
that is the reward of all the time I spend
on work, on poems, on life
on anxiety, on rage, on strife
I wake by a breath of fresh that touches my skin
and I close I the office window before I leave for Berlin

Guards Down

Leaning back in my office chair
The first relaxing moment in hours
the first chance to let down my hair
and lay back amid a bed of flowers
The road ahead is far and long

And I know that when I reach the end
I will be rid of my past and be a freeman
that is the reward of all the time I spend
on work, on poems, on life
on anxiety, on rage, on strife
I wake by a breath of fresh that touches my skin
and I close I the office window before I leave for Berlin

Very well-written. It portrays what all of us need to do more often--relax and enjoy life. Very nice imagery here.

This had a bit of an ethereal feel to it. But there is
a strength found in this that has conviction and
determination. A foundation that wil not be denied,
where one can find inspiration within the lines. A
wonderfully positive write. Well done!!
