Monday Afternoon

Writing my poems, sitting alone 
On a bench chair by the lawn 
Under the shade of Melina tree 
While my thoughts are running free 

From the north, the wind is blowing 
While on its field, my thought is plowing 
The sun smiled suddenly 
The leaves swayed beautifully 

Stack of dead weeds on the ground 
On front, back and all around 
On nearby street, cars are running 
Sometimes rogue riders are passing 

But what they do, I don't care 
I only care for what I dare 
For once I was a dead weed 
But thank Lord, I feel I'm freed
