take a break

sip a cup of cappuccino
and
control your pulse:
settle for a second,
flat the landscape of your scan.
You can chip the dust from the unjust,
retake the territory of your time,
and fight against your mind,
breathe in,
breathe out,
what hope we have
against our doubts
alive, alive-oh,
sip slow
sip slow,
sip now.

    Sometimes just taking a deep breath and gathering our thoughts does help a lot. And the coffee always helps too lol.

    "What hope we have" indeed!

    A very tranquil piece, ND.
