The Seeing Eye

The Seeing Eye This nature I see is mine it doesn´t belong to anyone else, those winding roads with cracked asphalt, there has been an earth disturbance at some faraway place, perhaps China or cracks in the memory of the elderly. Silence in the landscape of mine emits an aroma of forest is green as the vine, ghostly as haze over a lake and hums like a vanishing echo of a childhood lost by those who had grown up too quick and could no longer chase rainbows. I drive west or east, or if the wind blows it is renewed and I must leave as I can´t keep it, more than I can keep the golden bird with brown wings that flies in front of me. This nature is a part me and can´t be shared, as your mind has its observations and sense of what is amazing.

Jan - How beautiful the cracked path. Earthquakes in China, "cracks in the memory of the elderly" I have my own observations too but none to be expressed so well as yours. Golden birds scoot to quickly. love, Kathy
