A Beautiful Day

Warm sunshine beats down on wet earth,
Soft wind scatters golden leaves.
Chickens scratch in the yard.
A buzzard majestically rides a thermal,
Soaring, swooping, screeching happily.
The dove sits on an almost bare tree,
Preening its fresh set of feathers.
Geese paddle in the pond,
Yellow feet joyfully stamping.
The warm breeze dries the puddles,
fresh sweet smell rises.
I shrug and reject it all.
What the fuck does it matter,
while that bastard still poisons her soul.

 

Sometimes, the person you love is influenced by factors outside your control. The fact you feel helpless to do anything only makes the pain worse.
