A Simply Complex Thing of Beauty and Wonder

Life is filled with Precious Moments of simply complex Beauty and Wonder.

Adrift upon a swirling

Cool breeze

A Golden Leaf 

Full of Sunlight

Twirls and flutters

Toward the Earth

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

I Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe

A Herd of Horses

Come unexpectedly

Thundering through

The Forest

Manes and Tails

Trailing through

Golden Light

And Air

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

I Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe

A Hive of Bees

Hidden within

An Oak Tree

Beneath my curious palms

Buzz and Hum

With Life

And the Makings of Life

And succulent Golden Nectar

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

I Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe

A Mockingbird

High in the Oak

Filled with Buzzing, Humming 

And dripping Honey

Alive with the Alchemy

Of Bees and Pollen

Sings its Singular Song

Of a thousand Songs

From its Nest

Full of chirping Fledglings

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

I Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe

“Did you see the Horsies running ?

Did you?”

A Boy’s Voice pipes

Through the sun dappled Forest

As he and his Faithful Dog

Gleefully run and jump and crash

Toward me

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

Smiling

I Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe

“Come, come

Wrap your Arms

And put your Ear

To the rough bark

Of the hollow Oak Tree.

What do you Feel ?

What do you Hear ?”

Innocent, inquisitive

Blue Eyes

Grow wide

With Discovery

“I Feel and Hear

The Bees

Making Honey

Inside the Tree !”

His Smile meets mine

As a crystal drop

Of sweat

Slowly rolls down

His lightly freckled nose

A Moment

A simply complex thing

Of beauty and wonder

We Watch

And Listen

In Awe

And Breathe
