Beautiful Simplicity

I laid on my back and gazed at the sky Clouds seemed to float through layers of blue A falcon soared by and caught my eye The chickadee's song was a sweet coo-coo Afternoon soon melted, the sun sunk low Orange and pinks danced across the horizon Overhead the moon began to glow Day has now faded, night has just begun Old, Mister Cricket raises his fiddle Many young fireflies dip and dive Everything is but a merry riddle Midnight's not dead, it thrives, said I The simplicity of a single day Living, beautifully, my perfect Lord's way
