Into the background
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 present
Forever looming over nature
Even as I stare at nature’s beauty
The sound of cars stays forever present
As nature
Fades
Into the background
Hi Henry. Good poem. I’ve arranged it in verses of three, which seemed a very comfortable fit.
