the windows are dusty
not so much I cannot see out
I'm not the best housekeeper in the world
not the worst either
still, I have allowed let things go
more so than I used to
that is cool though, for as I said
I can see out the windows
every evening . . . late evening . . . dusk
the sun's rays burnish the oak branches
and the bayou looks on fire
from the sunset
at times such as this
I feel I am alone in the world
and nature's majestic wonder is mine and only mine
to see
its a solemn moment
almost religious like and humbling
and if the wind is up a little
it shimmies on the water
seems to send personal messages to me
in syllables of an unbreakable code
I sit, mesmerized
as the sun gives way to dark
I sigh
the world at that moment
is at peace
and in consideration
so am I
somewhere it is said
we only know a smidgen of our space on earth
me? at times as I sit in darkness
I feel I know everything the world has to offer
its at times such as these that I feel
at peace with me as a human
and that, my friend, means everything

Thank God for nature !
Thank God for God !
whomever it is that you treasure, for surely
such greatness that looks back at you from
your windowview cannot be manmade

A lovely tapestry of man and thoughts

Yeah you're right, EmmaRose, the wonders of nature are sights to behold with reverence. No, man cannot improve upon nature, it is there for us to see through countless centuries of delightful perfection.
