Fulfillment

Sitting The plush grass beneath my feet Cushioning my body an bringing me comfort I grab a blade of grass seed and chew on it Its crunchy ripe flavor stimulating my taste buds I gaze into the blue sky Admire the puffy white clouds looming closely overhead See the setting sun from over a yonder tree line The Sun slowly fading away with the time Starting to turn the sky a tint of orange The breeze is soft and gentle And sweetly combs through my hair and brushes against my skin Sweeping through the grass As if it were the hair of the Earth Gently swaying it from side to side As it sweeps over the rolling country hills And through the trees of the forest Then I look to my left and see a highway Full of cars roaring from in and out of town On their way to unknown destinations They drive by too quickly to notice all of this And move too quickly to observe this beauty And enjoy all the simple pleasures in life The race may be for some But it is not for me I enjoy a much simpler way of life And take in the beauty of the world around me And like to slow down to enjoy it on occasion I don’t enjoy competing with others To see who gains the most wealth, fame, or fortune At the end of life I don’t want to spend time worrying about it So while others search for fulfillment from the race I’ll find my fulfillment from sitting Right here
