Alive

sorenbarrett

Have you ever watched a spider spin its web?

seen an ant find its way?

noticed the tide ebb

clouds turn white to gray

 

Have you seen a baby born

tasted rain

danced until morn

slept in a field of sugar cane?

 

If the answer is no

if you see no honey in the hive

if you never saw sprouts grow

look about to be alive

    We can be so self absorbed that we miss the finer things of life.
    Although sleeping in a cane field (down here) can have its problems.

        I'm very humbled to say I have actually done a lot of these things, I've also walked in the middle of a cloud phenomenal on a mountain. Beautiful dear sorrenbarret 🌹

          Thank you so much Teddy for the review and comment it is most appreciated. I am lucky enough to live in a mountain house where I awake many mornings of the year in a cloud that covers mountainside. It truly is most wonderful.

          Awareness of life itself - It may be the only one I have.

          Great in its simplicity, Soren.

                Thank you so much for unearthing this one. Yes most of my poems are darker or more peppery but every once in a while I get a sweet tooth. I appreciate the visit.
