A Matter To Choose To Write This Morning Poem by RIC BASTASA

guess
i want something simple
and yet something beautiful
worth an hour or
less than that for my morning

i think
i shall take the usual walk
and take a look at the
flowers
not picking any
along the road

i promise myself
a little rest in my mind
something relaxing
something to unwind
my tangled nerves
a smooth breath
to fill the cravings
of my lungs

this time
nothing to mention
about the
affairs of my
heart

nothing
about the two of us
