I seem to write a lot of poetry about escape.

I guess this fits in that category, but it’s serene instead of rebellious. This came from a writing prompt slipped through a DM from @snook.

Stretched out
Soft beneath
Body heavy
Mind in retreat
Breath flows
Wave by wave
Dusty dreams
Sanity saved
Floating off
Beyond the veil
Follow the scent
Fantasy’s trail

Original writing by Katrina Ariel

Self-care reminder:

This being a poem about sleep, I figure I may as well slip in a self-care nudge while I’m at it. Rest is so important, and it’s easy to push long into the night (at least I find myself doing that), so remember to take the time out to unplug and get real sleep. In a bed. Without your phone. For real. ;)

Thanks for reading!

Take care of yourself, you are a gift!

Peace. @katrina-ariel
