The Best Distraction

Dancing With Distraction - First try at free-verse

Diverted attention from the screen in front. Nature is calling

In its glory it bathes my mind and nourishes

Static electricity running upon my skin, as I see it sinking below the vast seen

To the world it waves goodbye in the flashiest of scenes… magnificent and glowing

Radiance unseen before, truly grand… the feeling envelopes the soul

Aloof presence, yet present in all life thriving

Causality of life beginning from its first rising

Towards its power we hunger, that is true, but hasn’t it given enough?

In our daily lives we’re thankful for its brief stay. Fusion of night and day, the role it plays

Onwards towards life we push as we catch a glimpse of it

Night approaches, and we head home as we lose sight of it.
