On the Porch With Mother Nature
On the Porch With Mother Earth
Look upon these skies
see the blue
watch the clouds
bellow with the wind…
Feel the earth
beneath your feet
solid and true…
walk with these trees
feel them breath in
what you breath out.
Man is but a flicker
in the cycle of life
yet
we have dominion
over it all…
Our power can preserve
or destroy
with whim or folly.
Listen to the birds
and squirrels
rolic in the rain
or hide beneath the leaf
of a great old oak.
Thunder rolls
and lightening
pierces the horizon
with jagged bolts
of unharnessed glory.
What a wonder this place
we call home.

Stunning! Yes to ALL of this!

Brilliant. I love this! Thank you for sharing.
The way the indented lines create white space gives more breathing room to take it all in. I also like the use of imperatives.
