It's time to leave the house
so slowly I walk the short distance to the door
that takes me outside into the great world
breathing in the misty summers end
I see two barn swallow birds bathing in the water fountain
and as one flies above my head
I can hear a slight melody
and in that moment I forget all my troubles...
and I'm just here
surrounded in the simplicity of this beautiful dusk chorus.

Teddy, this is absolutely beautiful. Nature draws the mind away from its burdens and gently returns it to the present. Nothing is solved, yet everything becomes lighter for a momentโฆand sometimes that is exactly the peace we need. Loved this, my friend. ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ
