A Different Look

Go, sit out at night
be watched by the moon, stars and milky way,
stay, and love those incredible sights
until dawn breaks fresh upon a whole new day.
Simple sensations, divine revelations
smell the flowers, watch the birds in the air,
live as a child
without a worry or a care.
Try to fathom it all, how and why
the way we live, the way we die.
See the sky sparkling blue,
imagine so much more than just you.
Allow no swagger of walk
nor avarice of talk,
to obscure these most profound things
for in such, the mystery of life sweetly sings.
In so many daily events
can be found life's greatest glow,
a simple pleasure and purpose
waiting for us to know.
Like a great tree in the wind
sometimes we dance, sometimes we break,
but through it all, it is life
in which we partake.
Go, take a different look around,
you'll find in all, living does abound.
