Total Relaxation

A moment of reflection.

Leaning on a likelihood,
Fiercely fueled fixation,
Then I did what I should,
Took total relaxation.

It only takes a second,
A moment of reflection,
Until I fully reckoned,
It was total relaxation.

A trip upon a tennis ball,
As I return your serve,
And my dear that’s not all,
I claim my just deserve.

Sitting here in solitude,
In total relaxation,
A subtle change in attitude,
The happy culmination.

So I know when I go,
And travel past my mind,
That the seeds that I sow,
Are there for me to find.

Names fly by like butterflies,
On a summer’s day,
Tell the truth and save the lies,
Are words I like to say.

They say it is the season,
For total relaxation,
We don’t even need a reason,
To be led to temptation.

Sent from heaven on a stick,
Yuletide has come again,
Don’t delay we must be quick,
To miss is such a shame.
