Sometimes
You just need to be
With yourself
To be
Without the need
to replay your brain
of what you need to do
or where you need to be
To be
Without a device
Or habit of fuss
Without reminiscing
About the past
Or some long lost love
To be
Away from
The need
To control it all
And away
From letting
Someone else play about
With your emotions
And sense of respect
Away from impulse
Judgment and doubt
Just to be
In a place
In a moment
In a blank space
Sometimes
That’s all we need
To watch the sunrise
And feel the soft breeze
Soothe your nerves
And taste the tea
In your favorite mug
The clay one that reads,
“Enjoy the little things
for when you look back
they really are the big things.”
And after that sip
Sometimes all you need
Is to breathe out —
Breathe out deep
And in restful solitude
Let yourself grow
And let your Self be
—- by Pragya Pradhan
