QUIET

I long for the quiet

By a silent flowing river

As the wind caresses my cheeks

And the leaves break into laughter.

The sun drowns far away,

the birds get cosy,

and all is peace.

I confess my love for the stars,

and then I get lost,

in the melodies of my mind.

Walk in the Woods

 I looked up into the azure skies-

The bright yellow sun,

Sunrays peeled through the canopies

As the dew glistened like pearls.

I felt a gentle breeze hug my face

And smelled the sweet scent of buttercups.

Rustling leaves, bright green,

Soft, wet grass.

Yes, there was green all around.

I looked down the little bridge-

A beautiful babbling brook,

gushing down the slope,

Foaming around pebbles,

Water as clear as crystal.

Somewhere down the slope,

Where it met the creek

Something felt out of place-

A polythene bag.
