Lay me down gently
under the trees
Let the smell of eucalyptis
surround me.
Send me the bee
to buzz my ear
The songbirds chirp
I long to hear
Allow the sun
to rest on my face
Let me lie here
in coplete grace
As I take a break
from the rat race.

You sound burnt out.  You should have my job; we get to clear the bodies off the runway.  Good work.

Oh and yes I loved the poem.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
