I see wonder wherever I look,
be it the sea or a babbling brook.
Decoding Mother Nature's handbook,
Time scribes Her secrets in its scrapbook
cataloging every niche and nook.
I need but gaze at a starry sky
or hear the honks of guess flying by
to appreciate Earth; I oft sigh,
picturing sunsets in my mind's eye.
All colors of the rainbow adorn
Gaia's landscapes, time-tested and worn,
enriching our world from rose to thorn.
And when a sea of stars starts to pool,
Luna's moon glimmers, like a jewel.
Our planet's a blue marble in space.
Earth's gifts are easy to overlook,
I aim to see them, or at least try.
And when I do, I oft feel reborn,
realizing that only a fool
would not be wonderstruck by this place.
