Gray clouds fill the sky while you watch them become a gray blur The smell of rain still lingers in the air You're surrounded by barren trees And dark pavement For once your mind is silent, numb Just appreciating the moment While content paces through each vein in your body You can hear the sound of cars in the distance But they never get close enough to ruin the illusion The peace And everything feels soft Whether it be jagged rocks or splintered tree trunks Your mind can't tell where reality ends and your thoughts begin And the moment stays with you all day Whether or not you stay in the moment, It lingers.
