The Backyard Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

You can choose to remain inside
and look through the open window blinds
But consider this… go outside and enjoy
Listen to the sounds of bees, birds and chimes

A backyard symphony that lightens the heart
bringing with it a response of joy and peace
Open the door to the wonders of the world
Breath in, then out as inner tension is released

Watch the breeze sway branches and leaves
See the sunlight filter through the canopy
Look above to the weightless floating clouds
to bluest sky… carrying a soul beyond gravity
