A Backyard Epiphany,

A Backyard Epiphany. 

While sitting in my chair like I always do.

An epiphany came to mind

because I truly opened

my eyes and ears. 

For I discovered

how beautiful

Mother Nature can be

Even from a backyard view,

Listening to the quiet

between the chirps of a bird

and the sound of the wind

stroking the leaves.

I could sit for hours

enjoying the same view

and yet it will always be

refreshing to me,

for it calms my nerves

and puts my mind at ease,

this.. is the moment

I realize Mother Nature

is my soulmate.

It's so true… even a little patch of ground in our own backyard may be a place of beauty and nature's miracles.

Very neat. I must confess I'm a city boy, but it can be nice to get away to nature. Really good job capturing the moment.

Beautiful and so absolutely true Dale! You touched my heart and your “Backyard Epiphany” so resonated with me! Really ‘being in the moment’ with Nature cleanses, inspires, energizes. It is mystical and a blessing. Love the imagery and sounds your lovely lines evoke.
“this.. is the moment

Nature is amazing and have a way of calming us or energizing us. It does matter if it’s a hike in the woods or sitting in the backyard
