I Seem To Arrive
The sun does shine and the sky is blue
I walk out the door the world looks brand new
All the things I see are as they were before
Perhaps my eyes are open a little bit more.
The birds are singing and flying above the ground
The Squirrels are chasing each other around
No one else here just me and this world
Like flowers opening up the beauty is unfurled.
It seem most of my life I’ve taken so much for granted
It seems to limit my options and my opinions became slanted
Today I just marvel in all of the sights
Where once had been darkness now there is light.
I go to this place right down the street
I see the world placed at my feet
I find a bench and grab a seat
No one is around it feels like a treat.
The only sounds come from the animals around
The dew dries from the grass without making a sound
It is so green and lush it makes me feel alive
With no destination I seem to arrive.
