# Night thoughts - 3. - Because why not Author: Jiblits Tags: Poem, Short Story, slice of life, thought Night thoughts - 3.- Because why not Amid the flowers, I've spent many hours Sitting in peace, watching the world turn  Listening twice as much as I talk, there is so much still to learn Against the breeze, I lay back in ease, always thinking about sweeter things than the tea I'm drinking The clouds seem to shape to the memories I forgot I once had Ever a surprise, I wait with eager eyes, for each to become what it wants for amoment Every time, no two truly alike, I sit & stare without a care, finding more reasons to be glad I think back at each one, though memory seems to make different each thought, all the same, to me, it's worthwhile time spent  Slowing steady into closing eyes, the warm day among some shading calls my name I agree to the area beneath the willow trees free, with space to spare, I let time take all the blame Among my thoughts, the sky seems to lift me into the heavens above To great those I know, & meet new faces among the ones I love As we talk & explore our lives from a distance I'm shown everything I know, & what would have been, with a different chance All is seemingly understood How things did go, & how till now, I've done good As all is coming to an end on my visit I feel a bit sad for knowing I must go, though, I have to admit The simple things I still enjoy ache more than anything I see the light change once again, & wake to a setting sun, pausing for a moment, it seems almost idling   For the sliver left, I make my way home with a stretch before I again begin Without doubt, I didn't do much, other than get carried away... Letting out all my worry, & only taking distractions in A good day... ---Thanks for reading---                                      ---Always--- Written listening to: "All my days -by- Alexi Murdoch" Source: https://sofurry.com/s/Rm0R6lz1 Previous: https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1217837-night-thoughts-2-because-why-not.md
