When time is on vacation

by Kevin T McEneaney

There are times when we need a vacation:

to loll soft in bed or favorite chair,

to do nothing but listen to raindrops

patter on roof, digest that light music,

go for an evening stroll for a mile,

or take a mid-day half-hour snooze nap,

pour a cup of coffee or honeyed tea,

muse on memories of childhood events,

have a conversation with the closet,

imagine going on a vacation….

*

One might enjoy enigmatic, strange dreams,

or a conversation with a parent.

The varied byways of relaxation

are as numerous as the twilight stars….
