Freeverse Ramble #1

Some moments
I can shut out
the noise of the world

It is in these moments that I see
deer, frolicking
beside a forest of trees
a carefree kitten playing
with the morning breeze
a small, innocent child
startled by a sneeze

These moments are
innocent.
pure.

They make me fill to bursting with joy.

Some moments
I let the world in
and the noise surrounds me

It is filled with anger and pain
greedy people stealing
from those who believe
angry people taking lives
from those who would bleed
selfish people who seem to think
the world should bend its knee

These moments are
corrupted.
vile.

They leave me weeping.
