Aimlessly walking, on a hazy day;
wild azaleas attracted my gaze,
near the bank of a stream
I lingered awhile, mesmerized by
avocado greenery; the fragrant native flowers,
pale apricot, antique yellow and pink.
I could barely bring myself to leave the scene;
so delicious was my near amnesia
of daily avarice and petty greed.
Grateful for this natural annuity; our birthright in perpetuity.
