PAINFREE

 

If there is a blank page

Your task is to fill it.

Surround yourself with the bounty of nature

With music of birds

As the wind plays the leaves

Like an orchestra on key

Every note a perfect accompaniment

To the graceful body as it moves

Pain free and appreciative

Having seen the effects of disease

            Fill the day

            Solitary, silent and calm

            Let the world play

            Drift to pleasant memories

            Live in a constant state

            Unswayed by seeming constraints

            Which open to the open eye

            If observed objectively

These emotions balance eventually

It is the nature of humans

To feel joy and pain

And it is a goal of wisdom

To know they are one and the same

And to live out good years

Untroubled by the changes

As they cycle through our lives

            You can sit idle

            And be flying across the sea

            Soon to land on a lovely island

            That never ends or deceives

            Where the government is internal

            And freedom is complete
