A Rather Lazy Day

Felt a little lazy 
So I rested today 
Cancelled an appointment 
with an old friend
Took lozenges and 
many cups of green tea with honey 
Tomorrow back to the old grind 
So I decide to 
take the time 
to write an ode 
Isn't it nice 
to pour our feelings and thoughts 
onto the blank page 
In this technological age 
Pen and paper 
still have their place 
in the midst of the frenetic race 
for money and love 
Perhaps someone 
out there in the darkness
will read this and decide to a
write an ode themselves
The mind can reach other minds and
the soul can reach other souls
After the  carnage 
There is still much to say 
Your words can
show others the way 
And like honey from the hive 
We need careful words 
to stay alive

Took a shot and found this one of yours. So many too choose from, but this one was the one I chose. Serendipitous as I have just recently gotten over a sore throat and cold.
