What must I do?
For the grass to grow;
The sun to shine;
The wind to blow;

What must I do?
To have the sky above;
The ground beneath my feet;
To breathe my next breath;
Cause my heart to beat;

What must I do?
For Spring to arrive;
To see;
For a thought to form?

Left, Right, All around
the sky stretches out before me.
With every step
it is there, limitless.
Try as I may, I cannot grasp it.
But, without any effort at all...
For as long as I am...
I have it.

Beautiful!  Yes, as you imply, all you have to do (as Steven said in reply to one of my poems) is to look!

Simple, but profound. Really enjoyed this one!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.
