Mist drifts amidst tall trees -
Above cool, clear blue pools
And grass splattered with dew.
We too should stay so cool:
Composed and rational even in a duel.
Forget adrenaline
And lose that Cortisol.
Ever see a dog or cat work out
Or do press-ups?
Watch those animals relax
And sleep:
Only springing up when something happens.
Avoid those fiery rages
As much as you can.
Steer clear of hell
With all its fury and flames
And violent eruptions.
Give me a golden pint
Of ice-cold brew.
Any beer will do.
Even without such help
Let us calm our hearts,
Lay back and relax
Even fall asleep for a while.
For we have earned
Our quiet hours
Amongst those misty trees.
