Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and having an extremely productive day!

I’ve been busy lately, feverishly writing away -which is a very good thing- but sometimes I forget that I need to step back, take a breath and relax a bit. Well, that’s the inspiration behind this poem I’m sharing with you today. I hope you enjoy it!

Just a Minute

Just give me a minute
To settle down my mind
To let me take a breath
To relax and to unwind

I only need a moment
A single flashing blink
To halt my racing thoughts
Long enough to let me think

I just need a quick second
Or maybe even two
To step out of this speeding world
And just take in the view

Just give me a minute
To sit and be alone
To remember I’m only human
Made of simple flesh and bone

As always…
