i took a walk and brought only my thoughts
to go along with the stalks of trees
a speck, barely seen, vision caught
a bird flies up unto a branch
what bliss inside me, as i see
the ants, an orange spider crawls
they move unbothered, unlike me
a leaf catches my eyes, it falls
peace inside me, the sun filtered down
through the green, onto my skin
grey lepidoptera, too many to count
it brings a smile unto my chin
all the questions i could ask,
are then erased, when faced with thanks
