While relaxing on the patio
Doing yoga and drinking tea
Of the chai variety

Breathing deep, I suddenly realized
Right there before my eyes 
How wonderful and wise 
Beauty is in disguise 

As an unassuming comic book
A discovery previously overlooked 
The perfect water pressure for a shower 
People who don’t abuse their power
Clothes that don’t need ironing 
Looking forward to retiring
To not be afraid of a bully
To feel everything fully
Floating on air when life’s a breeze 
Writing poetry with the greatest of ease

Sipping the last of my chai
Laughing with the clouds in the sky
