All in the Perspective

Looking out at the world

faces fresh from winter’s hold

Bodies move in unison

all hurrying here and there

Each one’s destination more

important than the next.

From high above, the pattern

below shifting shape and form

A sea of tiny dark specks

moving to and fro- designs

like a kaleidoscope fill the

panoramic view and time

stands still as each weave

around and through neighbor’s gate.

Looking up from the great below

towering shapes stretch heavenward

Blade of grass becomes an ancient

tree of time immeasurable

Drop of rain stretches outward

as vast ocean spanning

concrete connecting grassy shore to shore

Sound of hustle and bustle

deafening in a thunderous vibration

Sky becomes a pin point of

destiny’s desire and all

around me the winds of movement

carry me from place to place.

I walk out from the safety of

my view of observation

Out, once again to join

in the pace and hurry of

destination.

I reclaim my place within the

breadth and depth of life’s experience.

But now, I have greater understanding

and deeper roots to what surrounds.

I see now all that observes and provides

unseen support as I look out

at the world.
