NATURE STANDS.

Nature Stands

Nature stands on its own

in all of its glory

surrounded by golden rods

and wildflowers dancing.

All these maids turn

fast like missing time,

and puffy clouds are high

in the sky whispering away

at nothing.

In the shadows,

a small light shines,

blinding me,

a coin in the grass.

I pick it up

place it in my pocket

and look around at the

large world

that is full of promise

and there are animals

sitting in their barns

far off in the distance.

I ride my motorcycle

far down the broken road,

thinking about

what I want to have for breakfast.
