My Backyard

by

Keriann Marolf

As I sit upon the garden swing,gazing out across my backyard
I hear high pitched sounds of birds chirping a joyous harmony, their voices subtle yet merciful
The fresh smelling wind is forceful blowing uncontrollably
against the soaring pinetrees as if an angel swept by
touching the green prickly needles on them
The thick emerald grass tickles my toes as I stride amongst it like a father's unshaven face when a hand is rubbed against it
I feel the sun's tender rays upon me warming my body
casting shadows of various objects all shapes and sizes
amidst me, I admire the large sapphire sky its greatness
overwhelms me, I picture the sky as a ocean so deep and vast
The soft fluffy pillow like clouds as ships sailing amongst it, I see hills of brown in the distance they are still and
beautiful looking like a painting from far away
To view this great and magnificient handiwork and not
acknowledge the existence of the creator...
Is this pure folly?
