I sit outside

in a simple green chair in my backyard


Feeling the breeze,

Smelling the fresh air,

Listening to the birds sing.


Their song angelic

It’s as if they are nature’s choir.


I see the sun shine on the trees

showcasing their beautiful colors

while casting large shadows.


I focus on the flowers,

admiring their beauty.

I begin to reflect,

my backyard is my world.

The only thing that matters in that point and time.


As the sun fades I begin to think

How beauty lies in everything.
