The sky is blue, the sun is nice
If I could give you some advice
It’s to breathe life in, and let it be
watch as leaves turn red from green
Let crisp breeze tickle bare knees
In old and faded denim jeans
Witness gulls majestically rise
Without grievance to their screechy cries
Forget your wants, hear your needs
Listen, listen, intuitively
When the sun sets and a new day rises
The next day may have no surprises.
So my dear, it’s best to be
Content with sheer simplicity

Body Needs Oxygen

Very nice. It is also good to be reminded to appreciate the little things. As Socrates said: “Beware the barrenness of a busy life.”
