Keep the strawberry pie,
You sit on the couch in a tidy house.
Staring at the walls,
You start scrolling through Instagram
The same hellish selfies over and over,
But you draw tree branches with fallen leaves in pencil.

Wife: It's nice weather today.
Husband: Yeah, go to the store and bring some bread.
Wife: I'll put on some makeup and go.
Husband: Alright, are you planning to go anywhere else?
Wife: No, of course not, but a woman should always look her best.
Husband: Hahaha.

A white seagull sits by the riverside,
Children's voices echo from the park,
The scent of spring lingers in the air.
I wait for the peach blossom to bloom...

I created an ambient music playlist on Spotify I'll probably listen to it when I decide to meditate, but I think it's a really good one.

Snow melted on hair,
A cheerful child, all laughing,
Stuffed snow in pockets.

A poor man ate bread,
Sipped his tea, lost in thought
A sad bird flew off.

The sound of heavy metal fills the headphones,
Like the kiss of a hungry couple.
I begin to jump,
Because dancing has never been my thing.
My body follows the rhythm...
Cold outside, I feel lightheaded,
And I fall.

The road whispers softly,
Trailing the river’s edge.
I do not wish to fall asleep by the blackberry bush
Thorns surround it.
When spring returns,
The blooming peach tree
Will wait for the swallow’s black wing,
But you will not come back.
