Not being in Love…the Calm

Now that I seem to have adjusted
it feels surprisingly like an easy morning in spring
before the sun becomes too intense
the windows steady breeze is still enough
to sleep lazily well into the day
and not regret a minute lost

Not being in love might prove to be
the spring we never had
and I might finally learn to appreciate
the calm

Perhaps we should all take a time in our lives to appreciate that calm. This was a very good poem. Simply put, serenely felt.

This is really quite the verse.....

                               "Not being in love might prove to be
                                    the spring we never had
                               and I might finally learn to appreciate
                                          the calm"

Excellent!

Excellent work, and I like the last lines very much, as they said it all.
