Looking out
Into my backyard
On a clear,
And cool,
And vibrant summer day.
The grass
And the leaves
Are dancing playfully
With the wind,
And seem
To embrace
How fleeting
Yet infinite
This life is.
I myself
Sit from afar
Watching all of this
And taking all of this in,
As if seeing it all
For the first time.
My God,
Have I not taken
Enough moments in
To watch
The grass and leaves
Dance playfully
On a cool, summer day?
Or to watch
My pup
Lying herself
In the grass
Perfectly content
And in harmony
With all that is
And ever will be
With a broad,
Happy grin
On her face?
At least,
I suppose,
I remembered
To come out
Into the day
And sun
At all.
I’m really glad
I had a chance
To see
And be a part of this.
Feel free
To sit out here
With me
Next time
When I take in
Another glance
When I sit
And look out
Into my backyard.
You never know
What you might miss.
