I sit outside today, seeking an epiphany,
Letting the sun bathe my skin with warmth and UV rays.
Eyes closed, I see a sea of pinkish orange
As the golden beams pass through red blood cells in my eyelids.
Sometimes I notice strange symbols floating before me,
Like a secret message I'm unable to decipher, but not today.
Everything around me is green and yellow, pink and gold,
And the heat feels good after the long cold winter.
One large black ant keeps trying to run up my leg
But I shoo him away, telling him not to be too reckless.

The moments pass and I am ready to go inside,
Having shed not one drop of sweat nor wept a single tear.
My epiphany will come another day.
