As I sit here in serene cerebration
Surveying beauty of sky wind and trees
And roots parting grass
The laughter of children playing
Intruding upon my loneliness
Joy burns a place into my heart
And I think of the wasted moments
Of tears and sadness that have passed
As I inhale the cool plenary air
The sweet essence of possibilities
The sun radiating golden on my ebony skin
The birds serenading on high
The wind caressing my face like a gentle kiss
Purging my soul into glorious bliss
I think to myself intoxicated by it all
How fortunate I am to be here
A part of this time, this sphere
This world with all its joys and woes
And witness its mystery like a bud unfolds
My tattered spirit inert by frailty
Beckons nature's harmony
Blue, green scenery and flower beds yield serenity
Buds of beauty busting forth
Lend fragrance to the stench of the pain
And sadness of humanity
I smile as joy now perforate my pain
Penetrating the sad blisters in my brain
Nature in her wisdom has thought me much
To be grateful for such
That I have felt pain and tasted bitter rain
And with it, ecstasy, the euphoria of nature's celestial glory
To know that I have laughed and love and was loved
And at the end, to know that I have lived!
