Sunshine Through My Window

Early summer
Sunshine comes through 
    my window 
Blue sky with wisps of white clouds 
    overhead
Trees stand tall 
    their green leaves 
bring joy to onlookers
  Summer is more 
than a reason 
   It is a state of mind
One which causes the heart to feel 
   a heavy sense of peace
Even as autos whizz by 
   the primeval powers 
can be sensed 
   by those who are sensitive enough 
 to realize 
that the ancient world
   still lives withing all of us
 The past is only apparently dead 
    The time has come to realize 
 that the joys of summer 
     will be with us 
           FOREVER!

Nicely done!....Thank you for reading my poem "Serenity", and for your kind comments. I really appreciate it!.... I have never been to NYC, but I imagine it can get pretty hectic there!
