Five minutes

I went away
from the busyness
for just five minutes.

The ocean waves cresting.
The seagulls circling.
The cool breeze blowing.

As I walked the shore.

The sun setting a brilliant cast of colors.
The cool sand sticking to my ankles.
The salted water lapping at my toes.

My alarm rang, and I’m back.

Feeling rejuvenated and grateful
that in just five minutes I can reset,
no matter where I am.
