It is God's world afterall

Do you hear?
Chimes a-ringing
over yonder
up above
God's chapel in the sky ... on the hillside

God's creation
down below
murky water
still
Turtles big
bigger than a hand
maybe two
paddling
swimming
Dozens there are.

Stillness,
quietness
mugginess
will come
Perhaps not
Perhaps so

Pleasant sitting
out on the porch
The heat of the day
is but a moment away.
