Take in your surroundings

BusyB

As lonely and silently as the clouds float by
Laden with the manor the earth cries out for
Buttery light glides on by
Casting long bright shadows
Hidden in the depths of the day

While the sphere is calm and restored
The flutter soft upon your cheek
A mere whisper upon your brow
A gentle hand, a slow caress 
The lightness of life
Is the great want of us all

As life passes you, on a high
Tread softly along the leaf laden path
Remember the wonders that surround you
Gaze sideways, look for the blue of the water
The green of the tree, admire the bird in flight
The glorious nature urging upward
Note the light around you, the soft blooms of a new year
Up to the effortless scud of the fluffy white cloud
