Manual Vs.Mental

I fell down with abandon gravity,
all limbs and muscles of my body were aching,
I had toiled,walked and run for hours long,
I had known the earlier start of the day,
but not its end,
probably it has now come,
as I lay buried in bedfolds,
all I could manage was to light up my cigar,
as I puffed the smoke billowed up,
making shapes and figurines that engaged me,
I focussed my drooping,doze laden eyes,
to read into smoke shapes,
perhaps it was not real,
proabaly the physical labor had taken mental toll,
but I read it clear and thick,
it wrote"well done and now sleep".
