Cells become quiescent, animals hibernate
Life is punctuated by periods of dormant state,
Therefore I should take a break and vegetate
On my couch or my bed, daydream and ruminate
Over the state of my life, my country, the world
Let my mind wander as I lie comfortably curled
Let my overburdened cells repair and rejuvenate
Reduce oxidative stress and reverse their damaged state
*
Let me enter a state of quiescence
Take a break from my schedule intense
Let me replenish my depleted energy stores
Let me treat myself, let me rest some more
