I wake early in the morning,
Venture forth and gaze
At the majesty that surrounds me.
A jewel littered landscape
With lazy mists caressing every blade of grass,
Every petal of every flower.
This scene appears alien to me.
Most of the day is bright and mundane
But at this hour it is magical.
Not often does one truly admire the beauty
Of Nature.
Everything coalescing to present the very core,
The very bounty that life has to offer.
Like a dream it will fade,
Dissipate in the morning sun
But now in this very moment
It feels as though it could last
An eternity.
I think it is the
Simple pleasures
In life that we
Enjoy the most.
Images like this,
And the feelings that
Well up inside of us when
Seeing such wonderful things.
It takes not the scientist’s,
Artist’s or religious man’s eye to
Fully appreciate what
He sees before him.
It is merely the simple fact
That we are a part of it.
A small fraction of
Existence.
And with that,
We feel as though
We can belong.
