The honk cuts through the crisp fall breeze
Like it slices through my peace!
I become a part of the worldly dart
That can't wait for a blink
I weave into the traffic of thought
Of racing, fast pacing, daunting daily grind
I put the hush behind and rush before
I put the charge before and the calm behind!
I stream though challenge, swim through the routine tide
I falter and find my balance
I slip and slide but steady my stride
When I get home, I bring an abstract load
Plonk in the couch and hydrate my inside
Going about on another rush of life
Laundry, Dinner, dishes and homework
The viscious cycle unfolds
I feel like I am walking blindfold.
And then, when I need a tight hug
A peck on my hand, a pat on my back
You come in like decadence
Like a dark chocolate square
Filled with macadamia cream
You snuggle away the stress, you dawn in like a dream
My abstraction perfection, my one stop shop
My coping mechanism, My cashmere shawl
You sweeten my monotony
You warm my skin
With your presence, my biggest treat
With your caress my precious retreat!
