On a day without the weight of duty, I leave my burdens by the door, Cradled in the soft embrace of rest, Where mind and body slowly snore. In the depths of quiet inebriation, My soul explores the airways deep, Breathing softly on life's ember, As dreams and whispers gently seep. Sniffing the air for hints of peace, My lungs fill with a healing ease, A day off, a gentle cease, In stolen moments, my heart finds release.
