A day out in the park...

I'm sitting on a bench
overlooking a valley
with shadows of clouds
moving across the green fields below
where I see a tree here, there
and an orange roof in the distance
it's a beautiful sight

A rabbit darts through the shrubs
a stone's throw from me
and birds are chirping
on either side
of the bench Peter built
which I sit on
I know his name
for he left his signature
on the back rest

I look around
different shades of green
lime, rusty, brown
if this isn't bliss
I don't know what is

A golden retriever walks lazily behind me
some meters ahead of its owner
I look away from the handsome dog
and see a beautiful brown butterfly
dancing between my legs

Such peace
such rightness
till a bloody jet flies overhead!
