Thoughts While Walking

My best inspiration, a walk in the arroyo.


 

Do other people do this when a bird wings from tree to tree,

Thinking that the bird is family lost, touching down where we can see?

 

Do other people do this, when a flock soars in formation,

Point out Grandma and Grandpa, our beloveds’ transformed nation?

 

Maybe it’s the soft eyes of a fawn, shadowed in the grassy field.

I see there the baby lost before life prevailed.

 

In the sky the clouds form, an angled question mark

Do others see as I do God urging me to embark?

 

Is it me or is it all of us, looking for our way

Interpreting Nature’s signs as markers for getting through this day?

I love this poem because I can completely relate to what you have expressed within your verses, Eileen. My father once told me when I was a child, "Stay close to nature and you shall stay close to God." Your poem reminds me of this philosophy. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I think we all can learn from nature and benefit by the beauty it offers free of charge and all it asks is our respect.
