Green, green everywhere. Then off in the distance the dark shadows of the distant trees in shade.
I sit perplexed, at ease and also agitated ever so slightly,
Children play, parents throw balls, young people lie in the sun.
It’s so serene, the voices, giggles, laughter and the occasional yell breaks the air.
Perplexed, it’s a word that’s hard to beat, don’t you think?
My mind wanders as I scan my view across the verdant green grass, clearly it was mowed recently and its calm repose makes for a comfortable sight.
Puzzled, some degree of uncertainty washes over me.
I am in a state of unease, not fully sure why, new things to explore, new places to visit. Then here I am in the park. I could be elsewhere, but here, there is some form of release.
Perplexed unease, is that a thing, a possibility? I guess so.
Perhaps time will tell if the ‘perplexity’ I feel is warranted. Maybe things will fall into line, and I will be relieved at each step in my new journey. Will good things be revealed? Will bad things fade away, will my curiosity slow, or stop?
I take my thoughts and exit the park, one step at a time.
