An Afternoon

A glance, up at the clouds

A sip, in a cup of tea

A click, on the mouse

Or, maybe just let it be

It's another lazy afternoon passing by...

The streets of the city are empty

And so, are our guts and brains

And everything seems unfamiliar

Cause they don't make any sense!

The thoughts are not working,

And the body needs to rest,

But I have to think and run,

And have to be at my best.

It seems you know not what to do

next

There's a dilemma hovering over your face

And you don't know if you can win the race

But you simply can't put down your case!

Let us talk, let us chat,

For 'tis all that we can do,

The wounds that we bear, the scars that we wear,

Are never gonna let us go!

And then,

Another sip in my cup,

And another click on the mouse

As Welkin's cheek turns gradually shy

And the glaze falls upon my house

The streets are slowly getting thronged

With people of different aeons,

And my mind suddenly starts thinking,

And my body wishes to run...

Another lazy afternoon passes by...
