Poem Title:
Poem
I rested my morose attitude and crafted a positive outlook which I needed to inspire my contemplations , I then stepped out turning the page before the next chapter to help clear my feelings from the shelf full of mundane concepts and perhaps distill my perceptions to remove some burden clouds. Near the end of the path to the lake I paused to wonder Not that I couldn’t wonder while walking but it’s unlikely, To grasp what my senses focus on I must have full attention Walking clears the mind and nourishes the heart subtlety The sun was cracking thru those repulsive clouds laying out its long glow upon the gentle rippling tides, Stillness was in the air and I was alone which prospered me Peace was undisturbed and I was at the center of tranquility The wind did not whisper, touches of warmth were absent from the falling sun Nature was drawing its curtains, summoning its young to prepare for bed As the night drew nigh, sights of birds returning home were not seen The time standing here had been of no value, other than fresh air. Stepping out is a must because all that lies outside would not be sighted To not have been out would be depriving to my curious mind I would have pondered as to what I may have missed in view then brood during the evening having choked that opportunity. About to turn back to the path I took one more glance around the lake Something appeared to be a rising above the distant tree tops It was a gull flying and heading towards the water, most likely to land Just behind him was an exceptional sight of five swans in flight. It reminded me of the ‘blue angels’ jets ever so evenly airborne The sounds of flapping wings became louder as they approached I lost all sense of where I stood and dropped my hapless attitude Of all moments before at this lake, this was the utmost pleasurable. This moment of awe took away all my reflections of negativity’s Inspired from my look back before departing I summarize my thoughts to say Never underestimate what may be until you change your attitude and step out.
