For a while, I had felt a flicker of dissatisfaction
Nibbling at my emotions
As my run-of-the-mill routine became an anchor
weighing me down
Work, friends, eating out,
Nothing sparked a reaction anymore
For a while, I tried walking, meditating, and a cornucopia
of hobbies
But it wasn’t until one random day that I gained the courage to explore
On a rainy Wednesday
I packed my black holdall and booked a flight to Greenland
Upon my arrival, I was greeted by lustrous green pastures and beautiful
wooden houses
The crystal blue water looked like a painting
Nothing but pure air took my breath away
As I walked across the lands
Peppered with patches of snow
Brown mountains embraced the area in a hug
Each house was a different colour,
Green, yellow, red, white, and blue
A few plovers flew by me
Their black and white plumage
A friendly contrast to the exuberance of the land
After exploring and gaining my bearings, I decided to
try stand-up paddleboarding.
On an orange plastic boat, I found myself
Balancing and laughing as I tried to avoid falling
Into the below freezing waters
This caused me to smile
For the first time in ages.
