A not so simple demand

 Years went by

Avoiding 

My heart 


I feared 

It’s demand


Careers are hard to build


Family and friendship too

Were not easy to keep


My heart too

Didn’t complain much


But blocked my access 

To beauty

To love

To joy 

To spontaneity 

To sensitivity 


Finally

I relented 


To my surprise 

It demanded some idle time

In balcony alone

With a glass of cool drink

Listening to the birds


The instructions was clear

Take up the problems of the work later


Soon my body rested 

And was feeling sleepy


And my heart said

Now just smile and 

go to sleep
