Lighten Up

Today has been a trial of tests
every limit has been reached
power weak like battery flat
all colour drained and bleached

In a hot tub float of fragrance
no sign of energy at large
until the sound of flippant perky
sent a lightening striking charge

Slack those straps and lighten up
remove that buckled tension belt
check in at the inn of get-up-and-go
feel the smooth of a textured felt
