A Contradicting Heart

A grand horizon opens the mind

and lets the air come in

In this land surrounded by hills

I feel like cans of tin

 

The natural beauty rising high

really makes me feel small

Though grandiose I think that I

prefer my sights less tall

 

The landscapes that I like to see

are simple and are bland

Contradicting though it may seem

in them I see God\'s hand

 

When I\'m there I feel most free

and open to His grace

Here with mountains covered with trees

I\'m sheltered from His face

 

When I return to my great plains

All thankfulness I\'ll be

In all the beauty of this world

The simple is for me
