Where Earth Meets the Sky

Today I sat beside a stream

Watched a Titmouse take a bath

Listened to the birds that sing

While ants crawled on the path

Flowers bloomed in warm sunlight

Tall and strong with heads of yellow

Swaying there with smiles so bright

Nature’s garden is waving hello

The air was cool // the sun was hot

Above my head the willows sigh

In the shade’s my chosen spot

‘Tis a perfect place I sighed

So there I sat the morning out

While bees buzzed round close by

Thought to myself // no need to pout

Where earth meet the sky
