Calm
Oct 2, 2022
Calm.
A four-letter word that easily rolls off the tongue for most
And yet, so unattainable for many.
Funny how such a feeling is like a recipe which
Requires the finest of ingredients; patience, space,
Focus.
Without these core ingredients surely the final
Dish would lack flavor, potency, and euphoria.
As legs shake continuously under the desk made
Out of recycled hopes and dreams
It is no wonder why many children and adults
Leave these desks with splinters on their palms.
As they work on their hopes and dreams,
The hopes and dreams of their family, friends,
Colleagues and coworkers who were unable or
Unwillingly to achieve what is owed to them
Pokes at them.
So to be calm in such an environment is
Damn near ludicrous.
