Restfulness
Sitting on my back porch 
I noticed all of the little 
Pieces of brown paint peeling
Off the old, weathered wood, 
When the sun begins to come up it
Exposes all of the little sparkles 
Of morning dew making the grass,
Trees, and old spiderwebs glissen, 
The blue cloudless sky merges 
With the red sun rise 
The air is warm and humid 
I breathe and take in the 
Wet smell of dirt
I can hear the birds chirping from 
Their nest deep inside the trees
And bushes that are starting 
To change is to fall colors 
It still feels peacefully silent
This is tranquility

This is a meditative poem. It was written one early morning while I was sitting on my back porch.
