Pure Joy

Shahla Latifi

On a serene summer day, 
My heart finds solace in the warmth of the sun.
I am drawn to the fluttering wings of butterflies.
A delicate white rose stem rests gently in my hands.
I reminisce about the golden days of the village, the time when it was a sanctuary of innocence.
It was during those days that I discovered the pure joy I now cherish.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight illuminate my thoughts,
I become aware of the complexities of my surroundings.
Instead, I lose myself in the beauty of life's simple pleasures.
The warm breeze swirls around the yard, while the tiny ants carry their cherished burden. 
Tall green grass nurtures a multitude of lives within its blades.
The cloud-layered breeze blows gently, calming the midday heat.
In that moment, I find comfort once again.
