In the distance,
I hear music
coming from
the church
down the lane,
voices rising
in unison,
singing praises
to the One
The sun feels warm
on my back this cool
September morning
Wind chimes tinkle,
ever so lightly,
as the breeze
makes its way
through the trees
A lone butterfly
is making its way
around the garden,
testing the nectar
from one flower,
then another
Birds are stopping by
to have a seed or two,
while hummingbirds
buzz by, aggressive
with each other
in their quest for nectar
I smile at the nature
all around me and realize
this is truly harmony,
and I'm thankful
for yet another day
to behold the glory
of simple, simple pleasures
