A Peaceful Sight

I sit among the audience of my thoughts Upon a chair With my feet up high casually on a table My senses, my breath, my heart rate is stable Silence at this very moment is my mind’s favorite labor The leaves they sway from side to side so graciously, it is my favorite sight Beside me, The cherking of birds is my morning cup of delight In front of me, The rattle of the clear crystal pool is the depth and constancy of a single thought The clear blue sky is my happy tomorrow On my face you will find no trace of sorrow Such a peaceful sight I see If only you could bare witness with me To such a glorious and heavenly sight Like A picture perfect, Or a beautiful view in Peru The glorious nature has set me at ease I am calmed by the steady breeze Yet the buzzing of my cousin Is like the sound of a busy bee She speaks to me of heartache and despair And the death of some distant loved one She makes a noble and noteworthy declaration To give me a kidney if mine decides to collapse I smile at her with this carefree sensation As I sit there typing and pretending to care Tapping my fingers to a rhythm while unaware Smiling a genuine smile and sighing a pretentious sigh You want me to speak of wickedness and of madness At this moment I am indifferent,oblivious, I genuinely Do Not Care The quacking of a random duck Came casually as pure luck Lazily I yawn, so dazed, and simply amazed I am hypnotized At this sight that left me mesmerized.
