Gods Backyard

Gods Backyard
David J Walker

Just outside my window 
A small piece of the natural world
Fenced in and cultivated to my taste
Such a waste 
	Such a waste
When I am not sitting in the middle
Of my creation 
	As a god on his thrown 
Resting on the 7th day
Evaluating what does 
	And does not
Belong
Which makes me think…
We are but a small piece
Of the heavens 
In Gods backyard
