view out my front door
Kids, look up!
look up and see,
above the traffic,
and the noise,
there's a Sky-show
going on, above:
puffy clouds all
floating by with
exemplary poise,
a feast of beauty
painted
all the colors of love
strewn like blooms
across the sky,
I watch them sail
serenely by
I tip my head
and feel this old earth
turning,
peace above
while down below,
the burning,
look up again,
and everything
has changed,
the Sky has been
so deftly
re-arranged
Take a moment
from your hurry
in the midst of
all the flurry,
just to breathe
Sky's beauty in:
up above
just peace,
and blessing,
even Love
is what
I'm guessing,
as this perfect
West Coast
summer day
begins
We have similar views from our doors, don't we. Though ... today we are going to have to endure the oppressive heat. Only salvation is relatively low humidity on the high desert. Enjoy your day, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteLovely to look up again and again into the changing sky. Probably it is the earth's turning that makes me feel dizzy when I do this standing. Even love can give that sensation of movement!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the sky. Each time, it's like a little meditation - involuntary. Just a glimpse of something constant, mysterious, beautiful, sometimes menacing and powerful. Today I'll look up and think of your beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteLooking UP always provides a wonderful view, doesn't it? I enjoyed this, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteI have to look up and then out. It is 34C outside here today. I've got a hose running to take care of our three biggest trees, but I'll have to go out this evening to water the smaller trees, the fruit bushes, and the lawn.
ReplyDeleteLeaving for the coast tomorrow. Must get Dick to check the radiator of his car.
I hear there's a heatwave at the coast, too. Last time we were in Seattle for baseball, it was 94F. I wouldn't go to the afternoon game.
Take care.
Luv, K
Beautiful! I'm looking up and rain got in my eyes..but I have seen your poetic view-so lovely~ :D
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I were where you are! I look up and either get rain or gnats in my eyes!
