Astounding Me
May 12, 2010
A trickle of water,
The sound of a wood pecker,
Far off,
Bugs chirping, humming,
Fills silent ears.
Watching and waiting,
For a breathtaking sight,
A wishful sigh,
Yet content,
To hold the nature around me.
Newfound goslings wander,
A miniscule turtle’s head sticks,
Out of water,
Bluebirds fly and land,
Perching on tall thin stalks.
To sit in this wonder forever,
By the vast ocean perhaps,
Or in the wetlands, forests, great valleys,
So glorious and versatile,
Mother Nature.

"A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over a garbage can and says 'That's Punk'?, and I say 'No that's trendy'!"- Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day
This was nice! The picture brought back memories, I used to work for a boat club.
I love your grasp of nature, it's really cool!
