From way up high I wish you could see
All of God’s beauties surrounding me
Mountain tops covered in dazzling white snow
Sapphire blue clouds reflecting in oceans below
Carefree and gentle the rivers would flow
While animals are grazing happily down low
Colorful patches the flowers they grow
Orchards and trees
Butterflies and bees
Oh what a delightful scene!
Fields spread wide of emerald green
Silver sandy beaches and deserts all dry
All can be seen while soaring high
The hustle and bustle of the human race
How life passes at a rapid pace
Skyscrapers and penthouses towering high
Looking down, enamored eye
Such a wondrous sight to see
If only you were perched on the ledge besides me
Sitting on top
of the mountain
Staring at the view
of the city
And thinking
how blessed I am
to have a God
that created the beautiful earth
I’ve got a birds eye view of the world
from my spot perched on a rock
on the mountain top
and its making me reflect
upon life
and upon my faith
as a Christian
I close my eyes
and pray
to my heavenly father
I open my eyes
and blessed is how I feel
to have a birds eye view
of the world
around me
In
preying
on others-
magpies feed on
grief
Bird on my porch rail
Head cocked, is observing me
Wonder what you see?
Seagulls circle sinking schooner.
Shipwrecked sailors safely swim ashore.

Millions of eyes look down
What do they make of us
Scurrying like ants
Going about their day
People going to work
While smaller people play
Metal carts on blackened tracks
Floating shapes on their back
Metal birds fly overhead
Their roaring engines we all dread
Greened fields like 3 D Shapes
Clouds below like earthly drapes
Fauna, shrubs trees we perch
We congregate like natures church
Us winged marvels, as we soar the skies
Swooping down, millions of eyes
Look above is all we cruise
As we look down
A Birds Eye View
In
preying
on others-
magpies feed on
grief
