My life was occupied with many things.
My mind was overwhelmed with thoughts.
I drowned myself with trifling feelings,
and made myself forgot of how beautiful
things could be.
One night, as I was doing my thing,
I got ******, took a deep breathe and stopped.
For a moment, I looked up.
I saw myself under the moon,
where its light shines brightly.
My life paused for awhile.
I stared at the moon and then closed my eyes.
I felt peace within.
Then for a short time I've realized,
that when you see yourself engaged
with tons to do,
try look up and take a breath.
For the meantime, forget the things,
and let yourself appreciate the calmness in you.
