Pondering Wondering
As I walked I saw many things,
things one wouldn’t see
walking down a bustling city sidewalk
Out in the country the birds
sang the most beautiful songs
the sky, so vividly blue
and spotted with puffy white clouds
a sprinkler dribbled drops of crisp
refreshing cold water
as the sweltering summer heat beat down upon my face;
Just then a butterfly flew past and I was dumbfounded
by the baffling blue wings with a bold black outline.
The beauty of the world around us is astounding,
yet we destroy it and build cities instead.
