Romeo Naces Poet Rhyme

Where One Unburdens the Heart

ah, morning greenery  soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart:

     a week ago, a man of wealth and fame
     sat on this bench and, the papers said,
     blasted away his worried, weary brains;

     except for a note about a hollow burden
     of a fully empty, affluent life, of his death
     in this park nothing more today remains;

     but now, from atop this same cold bench,
     a cute, little girl, barely three, happily hops
     onto the grass, looks down and around;

     she peers curiously and smiles at an ant
     that stumbles along with some hefty load,
     cheering it on as it crawls on the ground.

ah, morning greenery soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart.
