My, oh my, did you see that sky
Sunrise to sunset
It can take your breath away
In the darkest night
A million stars make us wonder
How could we be so wrapped up in who we are
When in doubt just watch a star
Paul Kantner once wrote
“Have you seen the stars tonight
Would like to go up on a deck and look at them with me”
Our world is small in the vastness of the universe
Small but full and amazing
My, oh my, did you see the sky
Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is
Have you looked at the majesty of a mountain top
When have you taken the time to marvel at the veins in a leaf
Hydrogen and Oxygen melt their structure to form water
The sun evaporates the water while clouds miraculously collect it
And distribute it elsewhere
Without its presence we could not exist
Bees are busy at work pollinating plants to feed a growing population
The sun provides light to show us the way
It starts the cycle of photosynthesis
Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and emit the oxygen we need
The air that we breathe fills our lungs and gives us life
Gravity keeps us in place, but not so much that we can’t jump for joy
Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is
A simple cell builds life, how is it possible
We touch, we smell, we see, we hear, we speak
We taste and savor, form our words and tell a story
We grow, we learn, we see and observe
As a people we interact, learn, and teach
Our hands convey our feelings
Our minds try to figure things out
We design, create and build
We collaborate and take what the earth has to offer
We mold it, break it down, re-assemble and present something new
We love and live, bond and smile, laugh and cry
A simple cell builds life, how is it possible
The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse
Some view the world through rose colored glasses
Others find fault with everything around
We choose to believe and follow
Sometimes with an open mind and mindful thought
Other times through emotion and reaction
Some see others as demons in disguise
While others embrace difference as life’s great offering
Some love unconditionally while others hate with reckless abandon
Some chose to lift up while others prefer to tear down
Some give life while others take it away
Power and money trump reason and respect
Us versus them versus united we stand
The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse
Oh my, oh my, did you see the sky
Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is
A simple cell builds life, how is it possible
The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse
Relish where we are, who we are, what we have, and what we know
Time is short, don’t miss the chance
To relish life and make the world a better place
To breathe the air, to see the mountain top, to raise a glass and engage in life’s dance
Let 2022 be the year that we learn from our mistakes
And move forward – together
Happy New Year
