heart is beating so slowly as I close my eyes

and let this feeling of calm wash right over me.

I feel the stress fade away from me and I wonder what could I have done differently and why do I feel like this path of difficulty is never-ending.

I know that things are not always in my control but in this moment I feel my eyes relaxing and the aches are releasing from every part of me as I breathe in and out.

I dare not over stress about the matters that fall in front of me as I listen to the noise around me and pinpoint the sound that is so sweet.

I don’t dare to open my eyes as I feel this moment will vanish the moment I take my eyes off of all that is going on around me.

Let me stay here just for a little while for the storm is not yet to arrive for another hour or too.
