Five Minutes 
if i could sit outside
feel the sun on my skin 
listen, not to cars 
swishing by like waves, 
but instead to birds, 
to the breeze
that just teased
my already messy hair. 
i can close my eyes
turn off thoughts
erase lists
​erase troubles
erase wants
erase the past
turn off the future
instead
for five minutes
with no expectations
but to be as silent in my mind
as possible and 
be perfectly content with
what is
