Finding Peace and Tranquility in the Warmth of the Sun and the Coolness of the Grass

I remember when I was a child running free all summer —
Barefoot in the backyard where the fruit trees’ rumbled.

Above the greenest grass, would grow, waving in the breezes,
The best of all the ones in the Dealta — our own fruit trees.

With joy on tiptoes, I’d eagerly reach for the sweetest ripe peach,
That tumbles down onto the cool green grass under my feet —

Then roll upon the succulent plush sea of cool green,
And waddle there on the ground, relaxed, content, serene.
