Park Bench

Spending this gloriously beautiful day on a park bench

With little more than thoughts for company

I bask quietly in the soothing warmth of the sun

As the shadows of looming trees crawl ever so slowly across green grass

A gentle breeze rolls through my private meadow lightly caressing my cheeks

It reminds me that my lips were chapped by fiercer winds no more than two days prior

Closing my eyes I can hear an entire symphony filled with the laughter of a child, tweets and chirps of young sparrows and the ever distant sounds of the city

Times slows down as thoughts circle, revolving around this, my lonely reverie

From my park bench I escape from this, from that and everything in between

The world from this perspective never seemed so serene

Like staring into the eyes of your lover no one else knows the delight of my park bench
