Space

[Ben Zwycky]

For those needing a break from the constant hustle of life:

Space

Warm sun on your back,
Cool breeze in your hair.
Here is space to relax
Or reflect, if you dare.

Space to breathe,
Space to think.
Space to revel in the wonder of reality:

The grandeur of a hilltop,
The beauty of a tree.
The charms of lilting birdsong,
And life's stunning mystery.

The carefree laughs of children,
Friendly dogs at play.
Sights and sounds that lift your mood,
And turn around your day.

The gently rippling field of grass,
Fresh air after the rain.
Cascading smells and textures that
Make this world far from plain.

The mighty soaring orchestra
That sweeps your off your feet
And takes your heart to places new
As two worlds seem to meet.

Gentle words of solace,
A comforting embrace.
All this and more to ponder
In this quiet, peaceful space.
