Sometimes

Sometimes, I catch a breath.

Where I look up and see the sun shine through the trees on a cool, crisp morning.

Where it inspires the inside of me with tranquility.

Where my thoughts go quiet and my emotional tornado dissipates.

It’s when I can turn off my music blasting through my headphones and hear the birds chirping around me on all sides.

Maybe watch a few of them fly across my path as I stroll by.

When my steps get a little slower and my eyes become full of wonder.

Sometimes, I finally get the luxury to just be still.
