Poem

I seem to be a poet
Though I didn’t even know it
As for years I’ve written oodles of odes
When an idea doth inspire me 
I need to write it swiftly 
If left inside my head it just explodes

I witness each and every morn
The rising of the Sun
Filled with expectations 
Of adventures yet to come
I walk along the promenade 
Towards the Golden Pier
As I feel so very lucky that I am living here

I pause and breathe in deeply 
I inhale the fresh sea air
Watching waves creep gently up the beach
And often as I witness 
This gentle ebb and flow
It draws away my worries 
I am able to let go
For as the tide recedes
I'm surrounded by tranquillity
Ready for another day 
I’m full of positivity

There is really nothing better 
As I witness Nature's marvels
In spring the golden daffodils
Autumn colours in the fall
They do not cost a penny
And are free for one and all

Yet sadly there are many 
Who will miss these wondrous scenes
For they never lift their eyes up 
Forever focused on their screens
And then one day they get the call
So sad that they have missed it all

So I shout aloud from roof tops 
“Will you open up your eyes”
If you look up 
You will behold
A magical surprise

So put down all your phones 
It’s time to “Smell the Roses”
Before that fatal day arrives 
When your body decomposes

Written after seeing so many people of all ages staring at their screens – 26.09.17
