Just a lonely thistle, Out in the field, At least the only one in bloom, Here among the others, Light purple flower, Budding upon it, Opened up to the world, Letting the light shine in, Letting the rain nourish it, Just a lonely thistle, In the big world of nature, Just trying to give some beauty, To the nature around, Showing that beauty, Comes in many different forms, That it isn’t always in the forms we might imagine, Sometimes we have to look harder, Or look differently with our eyes, This thistle can teach us many things, About the life around us, About not judging something, By just one look, And to look deeper within, Lonely thistle, Thank you for this moment, And the reminder, That sometimes we all need, To look deeper, To look within, To look at other things, Than just physical beauty, And when we look around, Look deep in someone’s heart, We can see a beauty, Much like the thistle, Which will bloom, Whe

To forget your hassles, And your hardships of your life?

White Fluffy Clouds

White fluffy clouds, Stretched across the sky, Reaching out to all the sides, The sky seems so endless, Where there is no beginning, Or end, Where all there is the vastness, Of the world around, Lost in the moment, Looking at the wonder, As the white fluffy clouds, Roll slowly across the sky, White fluffy clouds do not care, What is going on in the world below, They just roll across the sky, Not knowing how much time has passed, Or what matters to us, They keep on rolling right above us, Time is endless, Time flies for the clouds, Because time means nothing, To something that lasts, Day upon day, Moment upon moment, Century upon century, White fluffy clouds, Stretched across the sky, We can look up at the vastness, Wonder with beauty, Wonder with delight, Wonder with the depth of our being, What wonderful sights we see every day, But do we truly take notice? Do we truly try to even understand? For just a moment? Fo
