Dark smoke encircles the bright skies

Leaves less room for refreshed sighs

Such smoke, an embodiment of negativity 

How fast it seeps to destroy all hard-earned positivity 

Looking up into the bright morning skies

Having the eye meet the dewdrops

The fog, an embodiment of haze

A complete cover over the mind’s mental chaste

We certainly are on the run.

Mentally, of course from all the noise

We certainly want some space

Mentally of course from all the daze

The most distressing call 

Is one for mental peace

As the mind wanders through lands

And I know not why.
