What do I think, <br />About the current economic crisis? <br />And how it affects the quality of life, <br />Experienced by those who have lost their treasures? <br />Such as their life savings. <br />401k's. <br />Values and standards they held, <br />Now quickly diminished? <br /> <br />What time is it? <br /> <br />'It's nearly noon, <br />Why? ' <br /> <br />In the mornings when I take my walks, <br />And the air is fresh... <br />With the birds singing, <br />After the dawn breaks... <br />And this distant sound of a rooster crowing. <br />I approach the park and stroll... <br />Every so slowly. <br />Absorbing, I do, the quietness of the atmosphere. <br />With 'this' thought precisely kept in my mind... <br />~I am alone with nature! <br />However... <br />Never is nature hardly alone with me.~ <br />And I marvel to be amongst the presence, <br />Of all that benefits my life! <br /> <br />What time is it now? <br /> <br />'Just a couple of minutes beyond noon, <br />Why? ' <br /> <br />And to think... <br />Within less than 18 hours, <br />I will make a revisit... <br />With the trees!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
