A Stroll Through Serendipity

I strolled with ease, a casual gait,
Beige trainers, yellow jeans, no debate,
A hoodie warm in the cool day’s air,
Hair trimmed to edges with Eddie Murphy flair.
Hazel eyes caught in the sun’s embrace,
Despite the chill, a smile on my face.

​

Then a rustle, a flash at my heel
A cheeky squirrel on a fast wheel,
Chased by a cocker spaniel’s keen pursuit,
Nature’s chaos, yet strangely mute.
A breeze kissed my skin, soft and wild,
Goosebumps rose, I felt like a child.

​

I neared the lake, where colours did dance,
A mandarin fluttered in its bold prance,
Among ducks, geese, and elegant swans,
A symphony of life, my spirit drawn.

I tossed out some crumbs to the waiting crowd,
And they followed me, eager and proud.

​

A pen dropped near, an unnoticed token,
I picked it up, my gaze was broken
A woman stood there, her beauty pure,
Creamy brown skin, her charm so demure.
Long braids cascaded like threads of gold,
Eyes sharp and warm, yet story untold.

​

In her yellow dress, she stood with grace,
A "thank you" passed, a soft embrace,
And though she brushed my flirt away,
I felt content, as night met day.
For in the moment, I found my way,
Appreciating life in its grand array.

​

So here I stand, in nature’s glow,
With a heart full of wonder, letting go.
A stroll, a glance, a life unknown—
A simple dance with the world I’ve grown.
