Pleasure is sitting in a grassy field, the sun warming
my face
A gentle breeze running its cool fingers through my hair
Eyes closed concentrating on feelings saturating my senses
Birds singing in a nearby rustling tree
Buttercups dancing, so fragile in their beauty and yet so resilient
The occasional low drone of a far off cow voicing her ignored opinion.
I
smell rich earth, fresh grass and warm air, the smells of summer
And yet the May breeze can be cold - however it is a cold that I do
not feel;
It is fresh, vibrant and exhilarating, as long as my face is warm I
sit for hours
Sometimes I wish my life were always this simple.
Here
there is no pressure, no worries
I forget that the other world exists
This is my inner peace, obscure though it may be
I need no-one in this world
I am my own friend, Mother, Sister and lover.
I care for no one, I think of no one; just envelope myself in nature
My
eyes water with happiness
My heart is warm and comfortable
I smile to myself knowing that this immense pleasure is all mine
No one can touch me
I am calm and relaxed
My mind is clear
Senses tingling with indulgence
My
Serenity is broken by the sound of a distant car engine
How alien it is
The noise soon passes
And once again I slip back into deep feelings
Slowly overwhelming thoughts engulf me
My mind begins to wonder
Gradually I start to feel drowsy
I
am overcome by deep content sleep…..
When
I awake the sun is still shining
The birds are still singing
And yet my mood has changed;
I know that I must prepare myself to fight once again in the real world!
A weight lifted off my shoulders, I am ready for the battle.
