So hard to believe The miracle of it all Looking out the window No breeze to interfere with thoughts Deer grazing in the dunes Going for whatever is available They survive by instinct Bare ground shows beneath the pine Sun shines gloriously on the west side of the trees Above the blue sky is cloudless Way out where the shore should be Stand ice-mountains rounded by the wind Ten to twelve feet high Different widths and lengths Beyond, the huge waves keep pounding It all adds up to wonder To the south over the water are white clouds March is coming in like a lamb Winter started in October Will there be snowfall in April? There is no complaint In this safe place on earth we have few “land-mines” But everything is not perfect and totally peaceful Human interaction has various outcomes The sun will soon be setting Beauty will abound once more We will try to be peaceful with each other There is only one life to live A preponderant amount of evil exists around the world So difficult to take it all in It is not a counterpart of nature Peoples are starved and murdered Genocide prevalent in many places Diplomacy is a precarious word History has no meaning Little learned is put into practice Evil reigns along with power This propensity is not instinctive It is a learned practice The art of conquer and control Tomorrow the sun will rise There will be joy and sorrow We must not pretend to be helpless Let us resolve to do good works Feed those who are hungry Give water to the thirsty Provide shelter to the homeless Be the good Samaritan Stanski March 1, 2020 ^
