Sunshine Bench

I'm sitting here on my sunshine bench

No one is out

I hear the distant construction 

Creating something new 

I hear the distant teachers

Teaching something new

I can almost feel the students

Itching to be free anew

And I sit here alone

Eating something old

My typical salad

With the sun beating down on me

And a sense of calm emerges

Once again

It's been awhile

But I love moments like these

Where there is sun

Where there is a slight breeze

Where I am alone

And there is quiet

A simple moment of peace

Permeating through my world

And nothing can touch me

Nothing can hurt me

Nothing can worry me

On my sunshine bench 


Inspiration: Eating lunch out back, during my free period, school, and sun
