Bigger Picture

 

Just the other day

I was sitting on the bus

I simply couldn’t help but look out the window 

it was such a bright and sunny day 

sky bluer than I\'d ever seen it

 

Imagining for just a moment

the carpet of sunflowers that we passed

performing the Mexican wave just for me 

and in the distance

the magnificent Cyprus trees

applauding the yellow wave 

 

startled by sound awoken from my Imagination

by the birds chirping in their orchestra of whistle 

the sky window on the bus, wide open

allowing me to hear their sweet melodies 

reflecting on the fact that their music was perfect 

even without the clever hands of a conductor

 

and every so often stopping

at a zebra crossing

allowing the other humans

to cross the road on foot

making their way

to wherever they were destined to be

 

and I?

 

well finally I\'d reached my destination 

so very grateful

to have been part of this magnificent moment

of imagery and sound

 

I reach my front door 

placing my key into the keyhole

reflecting once more

 

I couldn\'t help but think...

 

how very lucky I am just to be alive.
