I Went Outside

I Went Outside

A Poem by Laura Harrison

I went outside

Watched the trees gently swaying in the summer breeze

As if dancing to a song I could not hear

Allowed the sun to shine down on me

And bless me with its radiance

The birds were starting the day with their cheerful chirrup

And I gladly hummed along

I bade good day to the citizens of the world

Exchanged smiles and a “how do you do?”

Took a sniff of the pretty daisies lying in the flower bed

And admired the spectacular colours in the sky above my head

I wondered why I ever once despised this planet

Because I went outside

And fell in love with the world
