Atop my roof I view the world
A tiny spec in giant swirls
of matter, gas, and planets alike

Atop my roof I feel a breeze
The coolness puts myself at ease
I've never felt so pure, so real

Atop my roof I think of all
Surviving on our tiny ball
of fire, water, wind and rock

Atop my roof I shed a tear
In joy, because I hold so dear
Life, such a precious thing

But at this moment I am just me
A peice of this living harmony

Finally I set down my pen
"Here's to life" I say again

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

When we get perspective,
all things seem
to find their proper place.
Well done!

"But at this moment I am just me
A piece of this living harmony"

This is so regenerating in it's simple truth.
Wonderful rendering here.

You have a lucid view of the world and beyond!

"Here's to life" ~ I'll toast to that!

When I was much younger, I sat upon my rooftop... the rooftop was the 4th floor of a row-type apartment building in the city of Pittsburgh, and even if you wouldn't believe, I had almost the same exact feelings as what you expressed in these words. Enjoyed.

Atop your roof seemed to me,
the perfect place to be. :-)
enjoyed the read. We all should have a place
atop a roof, even if its not!
