I Wish for A Hammock!

Neither I was aware nor  did I notice  while I was busily engaged  with many exciting matters of importance of late that I was neglecting my health until one day I fainted in a seminar. The culprit??? You guessed it right -Stress and over-fatigue!

I wonder why being busy with good things keeps me stressed :(  But then I could not avoid the many tests and a day's stay in the clinic that my doctor felt necessary. Luckily the tests did not reveal anything amiss except that I had to gain strength and stamina for the arduous tasks that I have undertaken. My son ensures that I pop up the vitamin pills  without fail and do the exercise at home if the weather does not permit a long walk. I am also careful on what I eat.

I  also realized it is really a must to relax not just a bit, but fully! While I was in bed trying to recap what happened to me, I suddenly felt the need to relax, yes, relax in a real sense. And this fortnight's break from all work except the unavoidable like office and some social commitments has rejuvenated me. I am back at the blog in fine fettle. But not promising anything like I can stay for good na... :D

Now came this hammock I had been visualizing for long and wished resting on it during the break... :))

I WISH FOR A HAMMOCK

I wish for a hammock

suspended between two giant trees

within the deep of the forest

I wish to lie languorously in it

with an absorbing novel in hand

and lose myself leisurely in  reading  

 I wish  to listen to the weird sounds of nature

of the chirping birds and noisy cicadas

and the rustle of leaves as insects crawl

I wish to  savour the smell of  mountain breeze

and let my eyes feast once in a while

on  the lush landscape around in all its green!

I wish to rest on a hammock

suspended between two coconut trees

found along a beautiful beach

I wish to let it sway as I sing

or listen to my favorite country songs

till I am lulled into gentle sleep

I wish to smell the cool ocean breeze

and feel the searing hot sun

as it lazily rises up from the horizon

I wish to thank the Almighty

for His munificence in nature's bounty

that keeps me ever happy!
