In the face of too many tasks
My eyes simply close
My mind’s spontaneous effort
To gain some repose
Sublime composure
A moment of night
To refresh my thoughts
Help me feel bright …
In the face of too many tasks
When it’s impossible to dose
I witness the body’s workings
My breathing unfolds
And, then when I’m revived
I can somehow resolve
The course of required action
To arrive at my goal
