Morbid Day
Negative Attitude
Warm summer breeze
Chirping birds in trees
A moment not my own
To a window sill I go
See sunlight as it sends
Its rays as it is meant
The vastness of the sky
Squirrels climbing high
A butterfly
Dancing prancing
Unyielding silent laughter
Gently floats a stop
At the window
By my side
I think about some days gone by
Plus more and more gone by
But this day
Is not my own
Tranquil as can be
This butterfly that's with me
Beauty, warmth and peace
The world it wants to please
I think I thought these thoughts
So I killed it.
No I did not seriously kill a butterfly but this story is symbolic of how my negative attitude affected another persons positive attitude and and caused that person to become angry, hurt and negative. I placed that person in a bad mood because I was not considerate enough to place my frame of mind out of her contact. Negativism begets negativism which leads to negative relationships.
