Best Relax Poems

When life is weighing you down a bit,
Step back and analyze the facts.
Things could be worse, as they say.
So give thanks to God anyway, and just relax....

The stress of this world has got me beat
I need to be by myself had have a seat
Cross my legs point my fingers toward the skies
Take a deep breath and close my eyes

Take me far away before it’s to late
I need to relax and meditate

When the day is done
And you are at ease
Just recharge your mind 
Do as you please
Just relax
Your heart is pounding
From a fast paced track
Slow the pace down
Just relax

From the helter skelter living
To the treadmill pounding
There is no sense at all
If you cannot rest for a...

Let’s relax and laugh and sing
Get to it now and make
Your thing
As a medicine it is great
Use those face muscles smile and meditate 

Endorphins will be injected
And for others they will be infected
Add things up in your head
There is more good than bad instead

And there it was…
a rose colored, winding path,
a narrow passage, maze like, but easily traversed

With a bent nail in the wood,
no gate remained, only rusted hinges
but beautiful rusted hinges they were

I felt their curves and screw heads
The post weathered with an enchanting patina,
woven in vine...

Take a deep breath
Let yourself relax
Close your eyes
Come with me

Inhale
Exhale

Let me guide you
I’ll take you on a magical journey

Give in to the moment
Relax
Breathe
Close your eyes

You’re there
You’re there
You’re outside the Taj Mahal 
A full moon bathes it in a silver glow
It’s serene
Take all the time you...

In my countryside, silent at sunset
Long gone is the stress, long gone is the fret,
Long gone is the need to be so wide-eyed
Silent at sunset, in my countryside

Calm now are my skies with their colors bold
Streaks of blue marry with orange and gold,
My mind long...

cottage life
clearing the cobwebs
of my mind

I once was a little bit lax,
Failing to pay my income tax.
There is no need to guess,
I then faced the IRS;
Was sent to prison to relax....

I shut down and die each night.
I do not want to entertain anyone.
I do not want to hear my name.
I do not want to fix supper.

I shut down and die each night.
Spending my evening in my zippered zebra pajamas
And fluffy socks that do not have...

Self instructs, subject of own inspection 
Sole idle suffuses our organic
Implicit say overcomes suggestion
Ideal sanctity outlives semantics

Isolated in single origin 
Slaughters overt outside influences 
Ordaining serene inspires sovereign

My head is calm
My space is zen
I glide and I meander
Manoeuver in a psychic hovercraft
I’m in my private bubble
Impervious to noise around me
Blissfully cut off from outsiders
Their bitter words are hollow
They're out there l'm in here
Water off a duck’s back

mellow just chilling
sitting back
listening to
coffeehouse tunes
sipping a tall americano
at a table for one
set by the window
in the far corner
winding down
doodling pen in hand
jotting rough lines
of a poem on a napkin
pulling it together
precious me time
hiding out where
i can lose myself
and not be found

TV has captured me fully today. 
I am not struggling. 
Sophie dog is loving it. 
Peapod snuggled in our dual Lazy Boy heaven.

Bag of salty chips and tissues at arm’s reach. 
I give Sophie gentle pats 
Wondering if she notices 
Her snores are loud 

Lulling...
