Second Place

Echo and Narcissus detail 1 Painting by John William Waterhouse - Pixels

Art by John William Waterhouse

The sweetness of doing nothing is hard, to take chitchat in your head and discard; embracing doing nothing is divine, oh, I love silence where nothing is heard ! Not an idleness but letting thoughts twine, to lay in a cozy place and recline; this is a good skill that can be bring peace, oh, lay in quietness sweetly supine ! Perhaps a walk in nature is release, we need this as life's worries just increase; oh, why not watch the swans and ducks drifting, and all your sad life scars will soon decrease ! Do this and all your cares will be lifting, your outlook attitude will be shifting; find the great value of your relaxed mind, though, sad memories will be resisting !

A worry-free mind, relaxed, and enjoying tranquil nature, is the best way to forget all the troubles. Nicely penned.
