A voyeur watches
Unaware am I, naïve
For I am his art

Legend has it, he’s watching you
Hiding in the verdant hue
Of leaves and flora, a hanging limb
That gather round, disguising him
At first you think, it’s just a stone
That lines the path, up to your home
Until you take a closer view
There’s someone looking back at you
Stumbling backward, up the hill
You notice that he’s staring, still
You shake your head and blink your eyes
But this really comes as no surprise
To see a soul, though inanimate, it’s true
Rocks have feelings, they most certainly do
Author’s Note: Hubby spotted this rock looking back at us the other night. It has been there for years, 26 to be exact, and we never noticed the face. I wonder who it could be watching over us ❤

Another rumble pierces the quiet
The start of another raucous riot
Thunderous sounds, lightning flashing
Clouds open up, rain falls, thrashing
Pummeling nature, impeding paradise
Flowers lay fallen, a cruel sacrifice
Through open curtains, I see it unfold
Watching as skies become uncontrolled
Then my eyes grow heavy, to stay awake I must fight
Til I fall asleep, to the sound of the rain, in the night

I sit, watching, as they go about their day
Never looking up to see the world, nose glued
To whatever electronic device they happen to have
A woman trips, but picks up her pace,
Even more hurried, two others sit, chatting,
Seemingly unaware they are not alone
The din of an otherwise empty coffee shop
Is music to my thoughts, and as the hours pass,
I realize, I am just like them

She is
Blended with earth
The soil of the land
Betwixt the trees
And barren branches
Eyes of nature
Watching, adoring
