Remember how our breathing slows right down
When we see a small bird close at hand
We want the happy moment to expand
To feel the greenness, let ourselves be drowned
Our breathing comes much faster in the town
Our hearts will beat as fast as Previn’s hands
We lose our mind and body, their demands
We may walk in traffic like dead clowns
See the human faces as they frown
They may update their phone,a thousand pounds!
They may park and ride the underground
To Mayfair with a credit card and crown
We need to create memories that last
In Dedham Vale with wild geese flying past

True, we are getting lost in virtual things. We seek happiness in temporary pleasures. And ignore the real beauty. Well penned. Stay blessed
Thank you so much.You are very kind,Katherine
