Hiatus

Stop a While, 

Breathe, Just Be...

Some say its a Break,

The icing on the Cake...

I say- let them say,

You please "Just Be!"

Long have been the hours,

In stuffy Office towers, 

Between cold walls,

endless conference calls, 

Early morning meetings

And Boss' sarcastic greetings...

Have you looked outside a window,

To take a break from Microsoft's Window?

Did a bird accidentally chirp so Sweet

And you mistook it for a traffic tweet?

A hiatus, a pause,

Slowdown because,

This isn't what life is meant to be...

Walk on the grass,

Gaze awhile at the stars,

Have you forgotten what evenings are?

Are you living permanently in your car? 

I know not what is wrong or right,

I only know souls need respite...

So, take a break, slowdown dear,

Gaze, dream, sleep without fear...

Shut off the alarm once in a while,

You've done a lot, just tarry a while.

A bit of laziness isn't always a sin, 

Have a little fun, Oh so long its been!

Sit quiet at your favourite place,

Let others run the maddening race...

A hiatus, a pause,
Slowdown because,
This isn't what life is meant to be...
