Eyes open, a thousand blinks. Chest pounding, a hundred beats. Body stretching, a handful shrieks. Mind racing, a single glee. Days starts with sunshine, but ends in disaster. Pick up the pieces after, All that's left is a leafless tree. Lesson learnt every day, Yet unlearned the next. Emotions drained in text. Finding solace near me. Peace always found, In the strangest of places. With unexpected faces. For a while at least, the heart is free. Retrograde relief #philosophy #poetry
