Social media drowns
in its own sound,
people clamouring to
be heard or found.
Adverts jostling for
our attention,
everyone desperate
to get a mention.
Earphones clamped
to burning ears,
we travel around
with so many fears.
Our minds are full
of a constant noise,
making us tense,
and lose our poise.
So switch it off
and lift your eyes,
tune in to nature,
look at the skies.
Create a space to
listen to people,
you’ll laugh again,
it’s very simple.
Open your senses
to what’s around,
it will amaze you
what can be found,
Touch the earth and
smell the flowers;
watching birds can
occupy hours!
