Wee poem I've been working on these last few weeks ♥️♥️♥️
The nervous system ....
From the west coast winds of Ayrshire
Where the sea air clears the mind,
I’ve learned life turns in circles,
Leaves some things behind.
Swings and roundabouts, highs and lows,
Lessons only living knows,
Some days sunshine warms your face,
Some days storms test your grace.
But life’s too short for carrying
The weight of what you cannot change,
Too short for feeding worries
That only leave your soul drained.
Stress will sit inside your bones,
Quietly steal your peace,
Tighten every nerve you’ve got
Till your body begs release.
So breathe a little deeper,
Let your nervous system rest,
Find calm within the chaos,
“Rest and digest” knows best.
Life’s learning curves and hard-earned truths
Can either break or make you wise,
But peace begins the moment
You stop believing every lie.
So laugh loud when you can,
Cry when you need release,
Take the scenic road sometimes,
Protect your inner peace.
Because the older that I’m getting,
The clearer it becomes to me —
A quiet nervous system
Is the richest way to be.
