Distant Thoughts
As she walked slowly
Towards the woods,
She kept thinking of her old house..
The one so dear to her.
She remembered her friends,
Her school, and her garden,
As she sat on a moss-covered rock..
Almost on the verge of tears.
Book on her lap,
She then slowly recollected,
Her parents' repeated words –
“Love everything around you.”
She looked around for a companion,
Sitting under the tree’s shade..
Gradually starting
To absorb into her surroundings.
Getting out of her pensive mood,
She appreciated the beauty of nature..
And feeling much more free,
Went home to bid goodbye.
