We need to reset for a clear mind                                                   Photo by Rob Wingate on Unsplash Staying in a country home With floor-to-ceiling windows Enjoying the perfumed air wafting inside my room Hidden away on a hill Noise unknown People kind, weather chill The panoramic views Immersed in surreal So many colors, brilliant hues Inside, the place is basic Somewhat rustic Outside a lazy pond, some trees dressed, and some naked Not much for the hedonistic crowd An off-grid place Bur incredibly refreshing and I was wowed That time of the calendar When you say goodbye to the year You want to be free and just wander Enveloped in sunrays, I welcome my morning Surrounded by the rawness of nature A reset- an answer to my longing Whistling a song Savoring the moment I bake a cake, time quietly flowing along
