Stress

By no means am i under undue stress...but i just thought of writing a poem on stress :-)
So here i go!!


Schedules were tight,
worked until late nights...

Overloaded with work,
woke up with abrupt jerks...

images on screen were a blur,
mind was in a slur...

I yearned for some peaceful sleep,
but in work i was buried deep...

stress was taking a toll,
the mind,imprisoned between unknown walls..

life was a mess,
the culprit was of course stress...

And then one fine day, came an angel from the sky,
making my spirits soar high...

Said she, my dear boy,
life is to enjoy...

when your mind feels sick,
listen to some good music...

let your life echo with laughter,
At heart, always be a sheepish prankster...

Nature plays a major role,
in relaxing your body,mind and soul...

Spend time with your loved ones,said she,
that would fill your heart with glee...

Realization hit me hard,
As i sat by that yard...

The sky was slowly gathering a pink haze,
My mind was in a daze...

Before i could thank her,she was gone....
Leaving me behind enlightend, in the approaching dawn...

Maybe you managed to pen this poem 'cause you weren't under stress :P

Was this about stress?
Or with a bit distress?
Nothing was qualitatively less,
Damn good work without a mess.
