I Have Seen Poem

                                          Joy

I have seen the waves, splashing and thrashing

I have seen footprints in the sand and couples holding hands

Walking along the sunsetting  beach

Seagulls peaking at the sand

Barnacles grasping the rocks as hard as they can

while young children try there hardest to rip them off their home

Just because of curiosity

I have heard the birds singing to me

when I rest upon a mountain

with sea smelling breath blowing through my hair

I have heard beetles and bugs buzzing and playing and laughing

The sound of the rain pouring outside

The sound of the night

Which you may think the night don't have a sound

but it is the glorious of all

I’d rather be in the city? No

I’m here and this is home

I don’t need big buildings and lights

I’m happy with the stars and open skies

I don’t need lots of people and fame

I’m happy with love and my best friend

So why is nature a bucket full of joy?

Because

I have felt white water pushing me in

I have felt mud in between my toes

I have felt your warm arm around me

I have felt the galaxy

I have felt the rain soaking my body

I have felt the sun burning and browning it

I have felt happiness and

I have felt joy and

I’m never leaving it
