Art Of Rest Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Take a breath, straighten your legs
A little stretch, a bit walk
Stealing nap, munching snack
Rest when it's time to rest

In the day break, in the night curtain
In tired condition, in heated argument
In busy schedule, in holiday season
Rest or your mood will put into test

Whether just closing your eyes
Whether wandering your thought
Whether joking with your friends
Rest and don't cut it less

When your body demands the lull
When your mind becomes dull
When your spirit turns into null
Rest before you become a mess

Before you fight for tomorrow
Before you journey to nowhere
Before you move to another struggle
Rest so you can give your best

After you finish your daily routine
After you accomplish a great task
After you decide an important matter
Rest to prepare the next
