Recollection of Simplicity

The days of the summer fade,
And I sit in my rocking chair
Watching the sunset.
And, as I close my eyes,
The summer begins anew,
Each day a celebration of joy.
I see myself as a child,
Revering the sunrise,
Awaiting the day.
I see myself as a young teen,
Heartened by the day,
Awaiting the evening.
I see myself as an older teen,
Thankful for the evening,
Awaiting the night,
And I see myself at 20,
Recollecting my past,
Saddened by lost opportunities.
I see myself, and I think.
I think of what I have lost,
And what I have gained.
I think of what I will lose,
And what there is to gain.
I measure the scales of intangible things,
Acting as a medium between my own past and future,
Pretending that my life can be summed up or judged.
And I return to the present,
As the last of God’s exquisite pallet drains from the sky,
The sun setting on the final days of the summer.
Finally, I pause.
I pause to enjoy the simple things.
I pause to enjoy the time God gave me on this earth.
I am grateful for life.
