A Poem

I sit 
in the garden.

the sun warms
my skin,
my aching body.

the breeze
ruffles my hair,
caresses my skin
softly.

the birds
twittering
a conversation
I can't comprehend.

I listen,
intrigued.

I close my eyes.

the golden sunlight
encompasses me,
filling me 
with light and love.

I feel at peace
​if only for a second.
