Daydreaming

Each time I sit down and drift

Into a daydream, I feel a shift

In my perception when I come back

To the real world, I notice I lack

The otherwise omnipresent sense of urgency

I feel I’ve developed complacency

Though the feeling is transient, and soon I find

Productivity anxiety creeping up in my mind

*

When I daydream, time seems to dilate

I want to stay in that trance-like state

For a little longer, daydreaming helps me slow down

Just enough to relax me all around

*

In the course of a busy and intense day

I need an escape- daydreaming provides me a way

Of temporarily leaving the real world behind

And that does wonders for my hyper-charged mind
