I’ve relaxed and settled in my chair
it’s been far too long
my surroundings I’m aware
perhaps I sought relief with prayer
knowing me, it was through song
I’ve relaxed and settled in my chair
22 years put gray in my hair
but now, I’m feeling strong
my surroundings I’m aware
two years away, gave me time to prepare
my attitude was wrong
I’ve relaxed and settled in my chair
emotions damaged, but not beyond repair
for decades I was withdrawn
my surroundings I’m aware
on the daily, no longer basking in despair
with this transformation I have undergone
my surroundings I’m aware
I’ve relaxed and settled in my chair
I’ve relaxed and settled in my chair
There is something about our comfy chair.

Well yeah but, the chair is allegorical to finally being where I should be. I wasn’t really writing about a chair.

A wonderful villanelle…I enjoyed.
I’ve learned to “relax and settle in my chair” as well…with age and time.
