For those days
When nights drag on
Waking up takes far too long
Or you've been awake for hours 
Nothing new

Rest your feet on the ground
Give your arms a hug around 
There is plenty in the day
That you can do

Find a friend, child or pet
They will put your mind at rest
A warm touch to take the chill off morning's dew

Do the thing on the list
Wash the dishes, fold the towels
It's a meditative act
If you hum or sing out loud

Walk outside, breathe it in
Streetscape, sea or gardening
Soak in the air's attentive touch on skin

If the sky falls, step aside
There is somewhere you can hide
With your pet, child or friend and just play cards.

The End.
