I Was Not Aware

The light sparkles on the water like stars in the sky It challenges my imagination perhaps I can fly I see so much beauty yet wonder why Time marches on and passes right by. The sky is so blue and the sun so hot I sit down to rest in a shady spot I drift off to a place inside of my mind With so much around I don’t know what I’ll find. I visit some places that I’ve been before What I hope to find I’m really not sure I feel this contentment grow in my heart This feels like it could be the best place to start. I jump in the water to try and cool down I swim to the middle where no one’s around I seem to find peace just floating away My troubles vanish with nowhere to stay. The sun starts to set and it’s time to go home I seem to find peace outside my comfort zone I just close my eyes because I’m almost there I wonder about things that I was not aware.
