Another normal day,
As normal as 'normal'� can be.
I'm sitting here,
Unusually patient
The red light in front of me
In no hurry to change it's color
Outside my car
The tall grass sways unhindered

Staring at the wild blades
Waving in the hot, summer breeze
I am struck with realization that
I, too, am free

As free as the wind that
Twists and grasps these
Withered blades of grass
So easily it blows,
To and fro
Unworriedly deciding
Which direction it shall go

Jael
