Mental Rest: A Poem

Mental Rest
When you think of rest, you think of sleeping
And for many of us, that鈥檚 our go-to,
But repeating that cycle, it鈥檚 a 鈥渕ust not do鈥
To get the rest that touches the soul
Is to get the rest that touches the heart,
The one that knows no bounds,
Grounds us to our beliefs, allows us to have a reprieve
A temporary relief, or a well-rounded rejuvenation
A little hobby, or a stolen moment
Whatever it is, that gives your brain true rest
I suggest giving it a chance,
Allow it to take you away from the busy-ness of the world,
I promise you鈥檒l feel refreshed.
It's rather vital, to end that cycle.
You know, the one where we sleep as an escape
Because a lot of times, tiredness isn鈥檛 a lack of sleep
It鈥檚 a lack of break.
This might be the best decision you鈥檒l ever make,
Prioritizing your health,
Take that break, maybe even take delight in some cake
When you think of rest, you think of sleeping
And for many of us, that鈥檚 our go-to,
But repeating that cycle, it鈥檚 a 鈥渕ust not do鈥

Is to get the rest that touches the heart,
The one that knows no bounds,
Grounds us to our beliefs, allows us to have a reprieve
A temporary relief, or a well-rounded rejuvenation
A little hobby, or a stolen moment
Whatever it is, that gives your brain true rest
