A Summer Scene

Have you ever sat out on a sunny day,
and seen it pour?
Marvelous.
A fascination of nature.
We don't always notice,
Don't always see the glory of it in front of us.
Rainbows stretch from one corner of the earth to the other.
Glistening,
Dripping with rich color.
A flower ripened by sun and rain.
And yet people are still blind,
Unable to see the magic pulsing around them.
The grass electric green,
The sun honey gold,
The water silky sapphire.
Nature full of life.

A Sedoka

Who are we to judge.
People will be who they want,
Don't interfere with life's flow.

A cookie cutter,
Societies false standards.
We are individuals.
