On a warm sunny day without a care in the world
With my Ipod blasting some favourite tunes
My mobile silent so’s not to disturb
I would take a walk into town
Taking time to survey my surroundings along the way
The posh looking houses in the midst of renovations
The smaller one’s with everything in its place
The driveways with an empty space or a car or two to do it grace
Neat little gardens with their colourful flowers
Attracting a beautiful butterfly or a couple of bees
And while the birds would fly from rooftops to trees
Singing their sweet little melody, life could seem so sweet
With the sun on my face like a breath of fresh air
There is an understanding to the logic of a quote I have heard
‘Take time to smell the flowers’
For moments like these should be cherished in all its simplicity
When we are at peace with ‘one’ and the world around us.
Written by me at the end of 2010, I still enjoy these walks into town when I have the chance!
