Pursuing the Green Room


Quibbling with the world

over silly things

unsolicited advice from others

longing to spread my wings


Observing the length of my body

seemingly chained to this spot

wondering about other realms

is it cold or hot


Starstruck by the surfers

seemingly flying in the waves

freedom in the green room

no longer corporate slaves


Drinking a fruity concoction

sitting in a chair

the waves hitting the beach

thinking life not fair


Renting a kayak

paddling toward the horizon

beautiful colors surround me

my spirit begins to lighten


A new outlook on life

freedom from the chains

living a more simple life

calmness and serenity are gained
