Shoebox Poems #1

May 18, 1994

For I look to the sky and what do I see?
I see the limitless clouds as puffy as can be.
I see the dragon fighting with the knight.

For I look at the ground and what do I see?
I see the cool green grass moving in the breeze.
I see ants finding food; the Queen laying eggs.

For I look at the forest and what do I hear?
I hear the raindrops falling from the sky.
To the leaves, Down to the ground.
I hear the birds flying and playing around.

For I look at the ocean and what do I hear?
I hear the waves and the dolphins moving.
Back and forth, Back and forth.
I hear the whales blowing through their blow holes.

I hear and see the things of the Earth.
I love them.
For that is my home.
