Best of Both Worlds.

Goldfinch60



I sit by my window and look out

There before is the wonder of nature,

The innumerable green swards

Flowing before me,

Interspersed with the browns of woods

And the bright yellows of hayfields.

The bright sun shining down

From the clear blue sky.

I look out in absolute bliss

As I know that the only boundary

To my garden is as far as my eye can see,

Knowing that the boundary to my garden

Is the far horizon.

 

Sitting there looking at Natures Wonder

Inside my home there is another wonder,

The wonder of music that surrounds me,

Surrounds me with its glorious sound.

I sit there in my great indoors

Looking out at Nature

And listening to the music in my life,

The best of both worlds,

That can only be found

In the great indoors.

      Good write Gold.
      But is you 'getting out more' too, with croquet, etc?!

      • Goldfinch60

        Thanks Orchi.

        Oh yes 5 sometimes 6 days a week.

        That is really beautiful Goldfinch, like the blurring of the concepts of nature and music toward the end!

        I'm going to be slightly tedious and analytical here (the scientist in me), but this made me think about the inherent music of nature, and I don't mean the sounds. I mean the patterns and the rhythms and the tone.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Brimelow.

          I totally agree with you about the inherent music of nature, it is there for us all to enjoy when we really listen to it.

          Cracked that one , Andy - can I borrow your window when you are out croqueting?
          And thanks once more for introducing me to music I wouldn't find on my own.

          • Goldfinch60

            You can borrow my window anytime you like Dave.

            My absolute pleasure about sharing the music, it is such a vast wonder to explore, I have been exploring it for almost 70 years and it still surprises me.

            Only found Dr Saxlove a few weeks ago but it is understandable he has only been creating music for 50 years! LOL
