I stood there
In a patch of dirt
That
somehow supported
maize stalks
and
side walks.
Both preceding
hues of green
in the form of tress
That gathered
in patches we call forests
,
Each fathered
By birds, herds
and
swarms
of bees
floating in a breeze
Broken only by the hills.
Hills
that
rolled
into
the
Sunrise
.
I stood there
thinking about how this isn’t everywhere
Thinking.
Then stopping
myself because
this was
beautiful.
Breathing in the untouched air
marveling in its tranquility
and its innocence.
I stood there,
in a patch of dirt,
that somehow supported maize stalks and side walks.
