Just the other day
in the early morning dawn
I saw a doe on the
golf course across the street
From the apartment
where I live.
Daily, I see and
hear the honking of Canada Geese
Flying overhead.
They land to feed and rest on the
Same golf course
grass across the way.
I live in the city,
and it’s a pleasurable experience
To see touches of
nature penetrating the man-made
Surroundings of
concrete, glass and steel.
Last night from my
patio, two meteors streaked
Across the evening
sky—welcomed visitors to my
Eyes from the
beginning of time.
It is a comfort for
me to know that out there,
Beyond these often
crowded and blaring city walls,
The might of the Universe
survives.
