So many days
Just wasted away
Time passes by
Without much delay

We forget who we are
Forget what we mean
It all becomes blurry
Too familiar a scene

We stop for a moment
Then pick up the pace
Trying hard to recall
A much happier place

A sigh of exhaustion
Escapes from our lips
Like dots on the radar
We’ve all become blips

Carrying out
The work of the day
Leaving no gap
To unwind or to play

We must take time to listen
To the sound of the rain
Find the time to relax
Breathe in life once again
