Welcomed Intermission
I'm in a wretched state of needing to seek serenity.
The chaos that surrounds me has gotten out of hand.
I've learned to treasure each stolen moment of solitude
when the outside world is most eagerly abandoned.
I draw the curtains and for at least a little while
I can pretend the universe is readjusted and aligned.
