I quietly slip outside my door
Leaving behind an unwashed floor,
and a pile of dirty, crumpled clothes,
The end of which, nobody knows.
I close the door, turn from the mess,
Breathe in, and drink of quietness.
Then, take a lonely, lovely stroll
Deep into the woods to refresh my soul.
There, I shall dream, and plan, and pray,
For perspective and strength to face the new day.
