Wellbeing group poetry

During a recent wellbeing group we wrote some group poetry a line at a time, where only the line before was given for you to continue the poem. What was created were 5 pieces of poetry surprisingly beautiful and they flowed. So I thought I would share them on here for you to enjoy.  

The stars were shining in the dark sky. 
Just before the rain started pouring
there was a glimpse of the summer sun. 
While resting in the grass
I find myself enjoying the summer breeze, 
bringing with it the smell of the sea. 
This reminds me of relaxing, 
feeling my heart stop racing, feeling my breath slow down. 
It was a calming moment. 

Moonlight shadows on the lake, 
cool breeze against the trees. 
Under the tree I admired it's branches
The birds sang sweetly as the sun shone 
The sun was bright and the flowers were in bloom.
But the voice in my head could only scream, 
from the tiredness within me 
keeping me awake.

Tea is comforting,
Tea is how I start my day. 
I like to look out the window at the view. 
The view is beautiful and calming 
But the noise is scary and loud, 
from the scary film. 
I hide alone from the thoughts surrounding me, 
waiting for something. 

There's not a cloud in the sky today. 
The sky is blue, the mood is grey. 
The clouds in the sky, thoughts are floating. 
I admired the sky and wondered if the clouds knew how beautiful they look.
The grass was soft and I laid there for a long time while I dreamed. 
I suddenly woke to the sound of a tractor. 
Spring had finally sprung. 

Man with a tan relaxing in the California sun, 
lazing around and having fun. 
Watching funny films, 
with family and friends 
is time well spent.
Having time to sit and ponder and not be rushed in anything I do today, 
living in the moment, 
living my best life. 
Things were getting clearer at last.
