At Noon Time

I see people sitting sweaty and agitated.
Their faces filled with anger and frustration.
Many are looking for shade and a place to sit.
Many don’t appreciate the nature that surrounds us.
Some just sit and show an upset looking stare.
With confusion asking what do we do?

They are not aware what must be done is the simplest task.
Some are observing the gleaming sun that beats down on the gray sidewalk.
It gives a reflection that brightens all of the surroundings.
The light reflects even brighter from the water in the fountain.
The fountain of inspiration everyone looks at closely.
How can something so beautiful be out there in the sun?

It reminds me of a refreshing taste after a long journey in the desert.
The birds are enjoying the water from the fountain, but people can’t understand.
And ask. How can they be out there?
As they sit in the shadows of the big trees to avoid melting?
