Simple Magnificence

Bleak gray towers

Of vast twisted steel

With matching dark storm clouds

Hovering above

 

Mankind has always stood in awe

Of themselves and their creations

Creating the the complex and ugly

Is our great specialty

 

A tall tower of concrete and glass

Can not mach

The natural towers of bark and leaves

That sway instand of standing rigid

In the howling wind

 

Stone fountains contain crystal water

Warm and docile

Do not convey

Water's beatiful radiance

 

It cascades down in brilliant rainbows

In glistening drops and flows

That catch the sun's rays

In every direction

 

Or it may foam and forth

In emerald green and saphire blue

In towering waves

Over fields and plains of aqua

 

I myself

Favor the range

Of mountains high and majestic

Glowing royal purple in the distance

Where on their lofty peaks

Of heaven and nature's true design

 

From towering peaks

The world is seen as a canvas

Paints flowing across the land

Guided by the true Master's hand

Creating magnificent beauty

In utter simplicity
