Sitting outside in the shade of a tree

I look up to the sky, and the sky's all I see

The sky is so clear I could almost see through it

No clouds to be found, just infinite blue

The cool breeze blowing fills up my lungs

It's so crisp and clear that I can't help but smile

I can hear the birds singing and the leaves as they play

A leaf flutters by me as a butterfly may

I sigh to myself as I stilly observe

The current state of nature in its imperfect world

The sweet state of bliss that engulfs me right now

Is a pleasant relief from the chaos I know

I know it won't last and the storms may soon come

But I'll still enjoy this sweet, sweet respite

For deep down I know, though the rain may pour hard,

The storms may last long, and floods might ensue

In the end, the sun always comes out to shine

And no matter the damage

Life will always begin anew
