Ignored Bliss I bask in the hope of the endless blue that encircles us, The impenetrable shield that banishes all possible misfortune Allows youth to be revisited where freedom reigns over worry The constant hum soothes the memory of the melancholy winter passed Warmth nourishes and strengthens my spirit that was so curled and stiff And makes me feel light like the untainted melody of nature so bursting Timeless, the air resonates with good fortune felt by ancestors long dead, Yet our closed selfish core fails to grasp the rapturous delights of summer Lest for an instant we might feel bliss in its purest form and forget the eternal winter of our corrupt existence.
