I sit upon the hill
And there all around me
I see natures beauty,
I see the greens of the fields,
I see the browns of the trees.
I look up to the sky,
And there all above me
I see the blues of the sky,
I see the whites of the clouds
With such wonderful beauty surrounding me.
I sit there and realise,
Realise that I am so lucky,
So lucky to see it all,
All of Natures artwork,
Shown to me
On Nature’s vast canvas,
For my absolute enjoyment.

A fine write Gold. I will go sit on the hill, if a dry day.
Thank you Orchi. Even in the rain they are wonderful.
That's what I love about this country and those type of views are just at the end of my Lane - great reflective piece.
Thank you Michael. Yes I too am fortunate as those views are very close to me as well.
Your words are inspiring and gratitude shines through every line of this ode to the gift Nature offers to those who just sit and look. Thank you dear Andy for this lovely first read of my day.
Thank you Fay, nature is so wonderful and just to sit and look at it around you is so inspiring.
when ya put it like that, we are all so very lucky, but it is so nice to be reminded.....

Thank you Neville, some people do look but few actually see.
too true...
It's like being at the absolute pinnacle of museums at no cost!
Very true Lorna.
Beautiful isn't it. How many years we took it all for granted though.
And now theres another wind blowing because we realise we must now protect it for our childrens childrens children. They will see this world with their eyes and hopefully share our love of it and value it. But we must pass it on to them in good condition.
Yes d a if us up to us to leave them the beauty of the world as we have seen it.
In my book "Forces of Creation - Scriptures," the very first definition is for Space - an eternal void, total vacuum, a reflective canvas.
A canvas is a surface that reflects what is created and how it is perceived, which your poem has painted in color.
Thank you Suresh, that canvas is there for us all to use with our seeing and our imagination.

Thank you Angela, the Native American People’s also value the glory of nature’s wonder.
It is such a beautiful poem! I think you capture one of the most important responses we should have to the world we live in and life in general: appreciation. We are so blessed to be surrounded by "Nature's vast canvas". Thank you so much for this lovely poem.
Thank you for your wonderful response Jo, it is much appreciated.
