Out for a walk

Joe went for a walk to go to the tip top,

when he saw a lizard standing on a rock. 

The lizard just lay basking in the sun 

slowed Joe down, no longer in a run. 

As he passed the trees, he saw their limbs move

dancing in the breeze where an eagle was too. 

The eagle sat and looked clear far ahead

Joe stopped and turned to see the meadows spread. 

Joe continued on his walk and found a dog asleep

As Joe walked by the dog leaped to its feet.

Stretching down the dog bowed to the earth

Then extending up like  a new rebirth. 

Amazed he continued walking to the top

actively looking for something more

then on a flower, a butterfly lay

drinking some nectar in the sun's rays

Now carefully moving not to miss a thing

Crouching down he saw a slithery snake

moving ever so slowly so not to shake

he sat there until his back did ache. 

Up near the top there was a mountain lake

Full of fresh and clear water

As he looked down he saw a sunfish

Moving its tail in a little swish-swish

Laying down on the ground he looked at the sky
he let his mind try to find whats common
in the nature where he saw
wonder and beauty that left him in awe.
