Thoughts......


On a sunny windswept day
when cows were eating bales of hay
with hands covering my face
I was thinking about life's mad race.

Thoughts then clouded my mind
what is there for me to bind
in this miserable way of life
with all its pain grief and strife.

Beads of sweat on my forehead
on thought of life that lay ahead
my heart then cried aloud
to look beyond far from the crowd.

Cleared my vision and from what I saw
made me wonder and gape in awe
for all its monstrosity and wilderness
there are still signs of tenderness.

A tiny life hovering around
its little ones in joy unbound
shimmering lights in the sky
did lift my spirits high.

Then I shut my eyes and thought
what joys had nature brought
never towards the abyss of dismay
while there is yet another day.
