Wild and Precious Kh
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver
A look out the window shows a lake
in the middle of the woods,
offers the sun’s reflections and friends made
miles away from any town.
The bartender in the restaurant
charges a dollar for the cola,
but the view is for free.
Cottages scattered among trees
allow each resident a piece of nature.
The sun peaking through a crown
offers a view of the sublime.
Off somewhere deer and bears reside
while I ponder hidden meanings of life.
One week spent in this wild paradise offers visions
to carry me through my daily life.
