From my window, I see a stately oak
and the bayou beyond
flanked by cypress knees
sticking up like toy soldiers.Sometimes, a heron happens by
stealthily stalking a wayward minnow.Sometimes, the sun beams down
in a spotlight directing my gaze
to the intricate design of trees.And some days, I don’t have time
to look, watch, or listen,
But I know my bayou
is always near
keeping me grounded,
showing me faithfulness,
bringing me solace.–Margaret Simon
