Peace Outdoors

November 9, 2022

The gentle rustling of trees, 

and wind in my face

That solemn feeling in the air surrounds me.


There's a sunset in the leaves, 

Once an ocean of green

There is beauty in all that’s around me.


My mind is never clear

As when I’m watching a sunset

Beautiful pastel colors staining the once white clouds,

It’s hard to believe what I see is reality.


I hear no more birds,

All the chirping has gone silent

What remains is the wind,

Blowing every which way.


I see no more sun

All that’s left is the moon,

Beauty and peace is all that's around me.


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem while sitting on a bench in my neighborhood, and I feel as if the result is very raw as I was really just writing everything that came to my mind as it did. I hope that my work can be enjoyed by someone else as much as I enjoyed writing it.
