The sky is grey

July is well underway

The grass soft to the touch

The wind blows lightly

I am at peace

Birdsong all around

An escape from reality

A world of chaos

Constantly changing

Evolving

I lay

In the natural world’s embrace

But despite the nature all around

The distant sounds of man’s creations are forever present

For the modern world is always here

Forever looming over nature

Even as I stare at nature’s beauty

The sound of cars stays forever present

As nature fades

To the background
