Sweat rains down the face as feet pound the treadmill
Seems I'm at a standstill only when i am on my back
A glance at the calendar tells me half the year's gone
I don't even know when the months flew past
I dream of getting off, taking it slow, to just
lie on my back on sun-warmed grass
in the fragrant shade of a majestic tree
gaze up at the clouds drifting ahead
let all thoughts drain out of my mind
empty the stress out of my body
hear the occasional chirping of a bird
or just feel the silence seep through my skin
Stop time from hurtling on relentlessly
Spend an eternity in every moment
