and Say

Ever stood in amazement

watching an anthill

how they move about quietly

preparing for hardships

nature brings much like life

unexpectedly.

During summer months

it’s interesting to watch

prairie dogs scurry about

nibbling on little bits of nature

popping in and out

of holes and talking loud.

On nights when moon is bright

it reminds me of light

we should give to those

in the dark.

Here we have elk, mule deers and mountains

to give us beauty to see

and to remind to slow down

breathe in fresh air

take a walk along a river

escape the city smog and ponder

who once wandered

this vast land.

Ever consider writing

well, today is the day

take a look around

use your imagination to create

and say

exactly what your heart feels is right.
