The peacefulness of a quiet lake
The gentleness of a drifting cloud
Is a scene
A feeling
That is often lost
In the hustle of every day life

The whispering of the wind
Through the leaves of a tree
The sweet singing of a bird
And a relaxing breeze
Are often overlooked
In the rush of the day

The shining of the moon
On a clear summer night
And the shining of the sun
Through a forest clearing
Are often dimmed
By the hectic lives we live

The beauty of the world
Lost
Blackened out by the need for success
A desire to be better
Want and greed
Enjoy the world
Every day
Don't overlook its beauty
Through the rust of the day
