The sun rays that come through the window are glorious,
I wake up and feel wrapped in sheets of light,
I go to the patio and breathe the cold-warm air,
The morning dew contains endorphins that lift me to the sky
Chamomile scent floods my kitchen,
I feel overwhelmed with joy and delight,
I’m submerged in a state of awareness and appreciation,
Am I alive or is this a dream?
Everything seems surrounded by a golden dust,
The glow is irresistible and sublime,
Problems? Rage? Remorse? No more,
Not here, this is my happy shell, this is my home
I cook and sing, and play and think
In no other thing than happy cords for the strings
Of my old violin, I desire and create
A magic realm in my head
Chamomile scent is absent, roses surround me
Problems? Rage? Remorse? No more,
Not here, this is my happy shell, this is my home,
Am I alive or is this the end?
