There's Nothing Like
Theres nothing like a chair
beneath a mango tree to
watch teenagers
run and
kick soccer ball into goal.
Theres nothing like an evening stroll
to
relax in a peaceful countryside and
let pleasant thoughts linger.
Theres nothing like a sip from a cup
of
strong brew, unsweetened, to
taste true fragrance of beans.
Theres nothing like emptiness
to float in
a world of imagery
with wings unfurled, eyes closed,
in a moment of ecstasy.
Theres nothing like forgetfulness
of whom
you are; where you were
0r where you are headed.
Just vegetate.
