Shh.
My heart is thinking.
The ills of the world seem far too great.
A plague that ravages the mind
Covers the eyes
And dulls all feelings.
Consciously taking every breath as if it is my last.
Walking aimlessly down a path paved by madness.
The sun rises then falls but I fail to take notice.
Surrounded by sadness,
I feel the walls in this open space closing in.
Looking at the sky,
The blue hue shakes loose
The joy that has been bottled up inside my heart
And the calm washes over me.
In this imperfect world,
There are many truths.
Kindness lives.
Simplicity is joy.
People still smile and thrive.
