Day 10…Delayed

when hope is just a glimmer 

there will sometimes be days
just like this one has been
a long twenty four hours 
that drags on without end
a bleak, languishing dirge 
I assure you my friend
it won’t last, it just won’t 
because dusk’s round the bend
and the night, and sweet dreams
you can hang on ‘til then
just remember to breathe
a deep breath slowly in
then sit for a moment 
while remembering when
you have been here before
find your center of zen
exhale all your troubles
repeat, do it again
until you feel peace
and calm settling in 
please don’t fret, you’ll be fine
it’s a lot to take in
when the world’s spinning wild
no beginning or end

there will sometimes be days
just like this one has been
it won’t last, it just won’t 
I assure you my friend

peace and glimmers to you…
