_______________________________________Small wonders
I watch the doves glide through the air,
The swans bickering without care,
The sunlight painting patterns on the green floor,
And the crashing waves on the shore.I watch people enter and leave a boat,
In my hand the postcard I wrote,
In the far a proud fluttering flag,
And a gift in my bag.I notice the humble chatter of bumblebees,
Rose petals flying with the breeze,
The glistening sunlight in the gentle water,
A female duck feeding her daughter.I watch children play in sand,
Couples going hand in hand,
And I inhale the fresh air,
The wind rustling through my hair.I observe every beautiful flower,
Each grain on the beach,
I admire the waters power,
And the winds fascinating speech.And I wonder why people close their eyes in front of such beauty,
But I guess that sometimes, you only want to see a polished ruby.
