Just
seconds from the city
a place
quiet
grassy, flowered bliss
to one side a bell rings
time passes
and life is hurried
to the other side
traffic
busy sidewalks with busy people
still rushing
but here
just
seconds from the city
is quiet
one man leans against a tree
sun shedding light on his newspaper
couples on benches
loving together
more people sitting on the grass
students with lunch in hand
who knew there could be such bliss
just
seconds from the city
blossoms bloom on trees
indicating the spring
flowers spreading across the green
just
seconds from the city
this park,
this beautiful wondrous place
seconds from the city
is peace
it escapes the bustle
the noise
and keeps you
just
seconds from the city.
