Peace of mind

Author: Bushra Zafar Khan

In the early morning

The chirping of birds, the crisping of grass

The breeze blowing against my face, the warmth of my mug

These are the things that perk me up

The coloured palette, the jingling of chimes

The clock’s pendulum moving to and fro when the cool wind strikes

Make my heart pounce, with fits of happiness

These are the things that keep me on my toes

The twinkling stars, the dark blue sky, the rustling of leaves, the silent woods in the night

Buzz me in the cool blue air

These are the things that give me peace of mind
