Gin

Drinking gin
In the late afternoon.
Feeling the warmth of the sun
upon my face.

Contentment
and happiness,
Joy
and abandonment.

Laziness
as the gin takes effect
and the body sinks lower,
letting go.

The mind shuts down
Enjoying the here and now.
No past to stress over,
No future to worry about.

Just the warmth of the sun
as it envelopes me
in a safety net of nothingness but joy.
