Little Pleasures

Take little pleasures daily child
that you may keep your mind
Look deep into a forest wild
who knows what you may find

or watch the people all around
you toil and sweat for days
to keep you pleased safe and sound,
to maintain and guard their ways.

Take walks along the shoreline white
with sand for miles and miles
the blue of ocean meets orange sunlight
look all the beach folk smile

or fly above the wispy clouds
in planes designed for speed
look upon the green checked ground
and try to count the trees.

The world is filled with wonders deep
packed with little things
so take these little pleasures please
and then your heart will sing.

There is something profound
In doing something on your own-

Being enveloped in music, as the world around you moves on

silent.

I'm stopped in a moment
as the world moves on-
each person different
their destinations-
unique

It's chaos - but harmony
Loud - but Melodic
city rush - but rural peace.

It's all what you make of it.

turn chaos
to harmony.
