Simple Gifts

I love your colour
your fragrance too
that is as subtle
as your heavenly blue…

If all the world
was soft and lovely
and all of life
was calm and happy,
what a wonderful world would be
everywhere for us to see.

And every one would enjoy
the simple gifts that nature brings,
all the songs the birds do sing,
and what I feel enthuses me
so I wish we all
may have this view
of a delicate bearded Iris like you.

But if you live in lands that are
not conducive to such treasures
then appreciate
those gifts you have there
that nature brings to share.
A buttercup, a bee
or something beautiful to see.
Maybe, anywhere you look
sacred geometry fills your view
as looking closely brings you in,
to witness plants or grains of sand,
pebbles, grasses or rocks on land.
Open wide, to absorb inside
all there is gifted you
to bring awareness into your present
and gratitude for life within it.
