In the still of night, the mind began to roam
Through perilous terrains of worry and fear.
It pondered the future, weighed down by concerns
Of boredom and loneliness, seeking a way clear.
It worked tirelessly, solutions out of sight
No answers found, it grew anxious and sad
Sleep became elusive, lost in the night
Until answers arrived, a calming whisper shared:
“There is nothing in your control
Nothing you can plan or change
Live one day at a time,
Embrace this beautiful life
Flow like the wind, like the ocean,
Dance your way through strife.
Follow your heart’s desires
And know the three secrets to happiness:
One, find purpose in your days,
Two, be in a state of flow,
Three, be kind and love more.”
