Admiration For the Lucky Few
I surreptitiously envy those who
find the opportunity to roam freely
in glades within woods
and over verdant prismic hills
under open blue sky's
soaking up and embracing natures
flowers and fauna as they are pollinated
by insects abounding.
I marvel at those who can sit and spend time
by rivers flowing graciously
along a course bordered by statuesque trees
and have the time to climb hills and mountain peaks
to sit and watch meditatively
over sweeping landscapes down below
watching birds fly by and swooping down low
weaving in the clear crisp air of the various seasons
just to sit and think of nothing but breathing.
How I covert those who can sit on headland rocks
and glorify in watching the power of the sea
the ebb and flow, the waves so mighty
crashing roaring on to the beach with it's foamy spume
and leaving in it's wake seaweed covered sand
watching the tiny stones roll up and down the shore
then as the day begins to reach it's natural ending
sit in wonder as the sun sets and the sky turns hues
of differing colours of orange, pinks, purples and reds
as if being painted by an artist creating a masterpiece
with natures brushes on a sublime canvas
only to see it fade and be replaced by shining sparkling stars
and a luminescent moon set against an ebony back drop
it makes my heart and soul yearn and ache to stop and watch
all of that nature has to offer those with time to sit and view
with time to spend with nothing else to do but mindfully sit
and breathe it all in while infusing creation within their being
I truly am in awe of those can sit and experience
everything that nature and creation can do.
