A DAY AT THE PARK

THE WEATHER WAS SO HUMID
SO STICKY AND SO HOT,
THE SUN WAS BEAMING DOWN SO BRIGHT
I HAD TO FIND A COOL SPOT;

I WALKED OVER TO THE PARK
TRYING TO FIND A BREEZE,
I WALKED DOWN BY THE WATER
AND SAT BENEATH THE TREES;

I WATCHED THE LITTLE CHILDREN
AS THEY WERE PLAYING ON THE RIDES,
SOME WERE ON THE SEESAWS
AND SOME WERE ON THE SLIDES;

I NOTICED A FLOCK OF BIRDS
AS THEY WERE PASSING BY,
THEY FORMED A GREAT FORMATION
AS THEY FLEW ACROSS THE SKY;

IT FELT SO GOOD TO GET AWAY
FROM THE NOISY STREETS AT HOME,
AND JUST SIT HERE IN THE PARK ALL DAY
AND MEDITATE ALONE!

About this poem:
I wrote this poem while I was at the park Back in the mid 80's. I felt a sense of total peace as the words just flowed from my mind to the tip of my pen the cool breeze and the calmness of the water filled me with perfect serenity!
