Relaxed Being

I was hurried for days, may be it was weeks and may be months, I am not so sure when I last rested, perhaps it was years before, hustled and bustled thus, my nerves were racking and ripe with stress puss, they could burst bad, and I had high cholesterol, my physician had told me, let things be as they are, and you be be, but I had not cared, till today morning, as I lay there in bed, Suddenly astray thought caught me alive, for whom and for what, was I running around, I weighed in somberly the costs, and found that they were not much, I relaxed tip to toe right there in bed, I caressed my tense facial muscles, with my finger tips, as they relaxed, I shrugged my haip ends, to let the static get off, now langurously, I ran my palm over my chest and stomach, I breathed easy, as I softly pinched my butt, I shook my legs in an outward heave, so that jagged muscled would relieve, I did this several times over, and made a soft turn on my bed, Now I had focussed my mind, and relapsed into a deep sleep, now there were no schedules, nothing to cry and weep.
