My back yard harbours more then you think And if you took a gander; Not a flower, you would see, to tap or to trip But you’d see my hose And perhaps you’d see my tows My yard, It gives a sense of less, Not more then you'd expect But not something you'd adore Four walls, no fence, no hills or trench No bounty hence or special offense offense Save from rover; Who just rolled over, who’s sausages are abound Could it be, that in this place, there is a hidden grace? By lying down, the world now changes Mountains seem to grow Once nothing, there is now something Taking the place of empty space, rolling hills now flow Valleys that beckon Forest often follow There are endless dunes and dessert spaces New found hills, and wondrous places Ever fun and quite long ranging And with every angle things seemingly changing Open spaces most sublime In this place a finger can be God To Conquer or to devour The power to change an entire land Make dams, change lives Rest with my hands I must restrain For with this power, I may become to vein. This brand new world, this wild west Alien lands, strange and untamed No fences, no signs or care And farther down There’s even less Yet, seemingly it's more Twisted, winding, narrow caves where worms seem to play Trying to see all that I may, I bring intelligence to the fray Sight, that’s right Taste that’s great My smell that’s swell My touch, that’s a must Plus my hearing for further peering I first licked a flower But nothing special Then touch a flower It then breaks like a tower, with some kinda awesome power And then I listen, but not a crickets even hear To be un-typical, not that physical I must see what I cannot To measure things I cannot see, I’ll have to go olfactory Of the beauty of unseen places it is best left to my nasal graces One eye closes and then the other Smells, now delight Dande-lions with no bite Aromas of crisp green grass Fragrance that truly lasts Unseen without my tout snout My mind is filled with beauty Those woffs, deep piffs, whiffs and sniffs Have given me a glare, deep Into unseen air Deeper reaches, of the great unknown Shall be revealed by my peepers Expanses to which I may roam My eyes now burst, shout and open To mountains of monstrous ants and strange plants Skyscrapers of grass Beatles like buses, and odd shaped trusses No end to this new scale Great things abound all 'round Ever reaching to explore The creatures I adore Like whales of snails Bugs that look so snug But maybe it's to endlessly To big for me To much for one man to try and see For as far as I can It's seem to not end It goes on and on, endlessly I pull away, with to much to see It' s hard to choose my way Easy to tell, where I dwell, is far less strange to me And as far as I can tell, much less of it to see. |
