High Note

This evening never seemed so nice, at the end of a daylight breeze....
Sunshine without thick humidity
Where the crickets sing around me
A break from gray filled rainy days

The sky prepares for the sun's colorful departure...
Fresh air in mountains splendor
Everything has its value, simple nothing more
All the while, green leaves wait to change color

Come sit next to me, surely you will feel it and see
It's not in the place of society that makes things work
With all the deadlines, promises or a perk
It's the place one must choose to be, on a high note to be free

Oh wow, how beautiful and profound this is.. With a sense of introspection, deep perspective, thinking and soul-searching! One of the crucial things in life is to realise that every symphony has its own rhythm and comes with its own lessons.. We just have to float and flow in the fluid time.. As aligned by the universal guidance.. Those ending lines are so deep and resonating- Hiya :)
