However You Do It, Get Away

However you do it, just get away
Regularly do it, and for a whole day

Get away from routine
Get off of your screen
Put down that device
Please take my advice

Live in the moment. Ditch the stress
You can't predict the future or change the past

Do it this week, and the next and the next
A full day, 24 hours, without any texts
Shut off that phone, and open your mind
Find space for YOU, to yourself be kind

Take a walk to nowhere
Midst forests and gardens
Free up your senses
Ere they eternally harden

Make a friend, sing a song
Blow a kiss -- nothing wrong...

Live in the moment
Let life come to you
You'll be glad you did

When all the electronics are shut off we rediscover ourselves and nature. Bravo!
