A Fact of My Life

At last I reached my home

My heart is pumping fast

My blood is circulating faster

My breathing is the fastest

My mind is restless

Let me think, what can I do?

I turn off the television

And switch off all the phones

I close all the street windows

And turn on the air conditioner

I sit straight on the chair

And close my big eyes

Let me hear what I can hear?

I hear the passing traffic

The noise is slowing down

I’m hearing air movement

My breathing is slowing down

I feel my own warm breathe

My flowing thoughts are reducing

and calmness is prevailing

Let me see what happens next

I heard the ruffle of the dress

and felt a breath on my face

It equaled a motherly feeling

I did miss that lovely caring act

But I didn't open my eyes or move 

That is the real fact of my life
