Raindrops streaming down windows
fingers tracing a line
doing nothing
Slinking into the shadows
away from the fray
being idle, watching the rain
nothing to do, or say
no need to try
everything just is something
you’re not dazzled
like a moth
with all those blinding lights
glaring back from the sheen on the streets
like foxes eyes
the night a predator
sharp and free
but you won’t be the prey
in which it seeks
relaxing
Unwinding
Unwinding from years
In the pressure cooker
Reclining after
Refining my tastes
To better suit
A simpler life
To forget the word haste
And sharpen my wit
So that the lines of laughter
Can be traced
