CW: Beauty surrounds us.

“Look out the window and write a poem about the first thing you notice.”
– a prompt for this week’s CW piece.

These walls are cold
and this job is getting old.
There are plenty of people around,
but I make no sound.
To none of them I can relate;
I guess it’s just my fate.

Through a window I can see
a world that’s meant to be.

As I push the door open,
my chains become broken.
Off for a walk I go,
grateful for no snow.

The concrete makes me feel at home
even though I am completely alone.
I take a deep breath in
and lift up my chin.

Just a few more steps
and it will be as good as it gets.
A bench by the water
from where I can see an otter.
The trees gently sway
in the distance by the quay.
The sun is shining
and I hear no whining.
With nature I feel one
before I notice an hour had gone.

Time to return to the four walls
where people fill the halls
but nobody really lives.
