I am in my own world.
A world of happiness, compassion, and joy.
The aroma of flowers,
is what I want to smell.
The birds chirping outside my bedroom window,
is what I want to hear.
The freshness of a peach,
right off of the tree.
is what I want to taste.
People laughing and enjoying themselves,
is what I want to see.
I am very simple,
some people will think I’m too simple.
some people will think me odd.
But I am happiest when I am surrounded
by people laughing, hugging, and
engaging themselves in deep conversation.
A paradise holds many treasures for me.
I love the beach; just everything about it.
The calming waves,
the palm trees sway, and
the remarkable striped sunset out on the horizon.
I could be curled up on my couch,
deeply into my favorite book,
and still be as happy as I would be if I were
on a lavish boat sailing to meet the sunset
at the horizon.
So some might not find the small joys
in everyday things
but the opportunity to be with any of them
will never pass me by.
