The Evening's Glow

Often, we forget how great life is. We take everything for granted, and we build up so much anger and hate for the world from our own experiences. But, watching the sun set or the sun rise, reminds us just how great it is to appreciate the little things of life. The birds waking you with their morning song and the gentle buzz of the crickets in the evening. These are the things we often overlook, but once we slow down and begin to listen, we can find that life isn't terrible, we just have to open our eyes.

    They soar the skies, as free can be,

    A gentle flap, a wind-carried wing.

    Feathers drift through open air,

    While oceans shimmer far beneath.

    One could only dream to be

    So unbound—so endlessly free.
