To bath in the sun, then into the tub, for hours on end,

The life of a recluse I often pretend

Burden myself with weight not seen,

ponder my life away, in nightmares and in dreams

Beyond the search for meaning and resolution,

I live for peace and still contemplation.

Stray notes of a melody I collect from time to time,

scattered symphonies left faded

and unfinished with in the mind.
