A View

Dreaming, of a place better then this

But really we should be enjoying the moment

It's serene, a scene not to be missed

But all we can think about is how to own it

So I sit here staring at the abyss

And think, even in darkness we can find bliss

Because if you look hard enough you can see

Shapes and colours in unknown possibilities

But as you get older this skill can leave

And you won't even realise what it is to grieve

For the lost art of staring at a scene

And just sitting there so serene

The landscape makes you believe

In all the unknown possibilities

Again

But it's really not that hard to fade away

Into letting the view become just part of the background

Allowing all those colours to turn to grey

And never taking in nature's sound

Stop making the view become part of some bigger thing

And just accept it for what it is

Like a child just appreciate that it's there

And contemplate that nothing's truly bare

But it doesn't have to be complex with many meanings

Just something you can look at and admire

Regardless of if you're old or young

As long as you have that spark of desire
