Back Waters View Poem by Roger Snow

~~~~~ Backwaters View ~~~~~~

I can see the Mountains
from anywhere I am

Those Snows fill the Fountains
I do believe it's planned, ,

The Earth around me
Living and breeding life
like an experiment to discover
if we can keep our sight

There's another Springtime
right outside my Door

and as I gaze up to the Peaks
I almost can't stand it anymore
it's as though they beckon me
to come to their feet
and find solace, ,
when I'm down and Weak

yes this the View
right outside my Door

I know you wonder
what I may have found
that grows an insight deep, ,

and you know the Wonder
on which I rely and am bound
shows me all I ever need
to fill my life complete

It's not that easy being me
it's not just anyone
who can release and get free

seems we have a Culture
where we must always prove
what we can achieve
so many people, just like a Vulture
prey on others, and forget
to grow a soul
in fact, they can't even believe

But I'll just pass on through
if it's just the same to you

I have no foundation
set in any single place

I can be as Free
as the smiles
on a child's face

I know there's insanity
rampant in every single city

But I don't have to worry
I slip through that just fine
and isn't it a Pity
we can't all give ourselves
that Grace, , ,

So today
when that Springtime
came to sit upon my day
I took a stroll to just enjoy
all of her Beauty
as I've done so many springs before

I came to the Stream
where I sit and wonder
found new friends with which
to greet
and all this life that I dream
it's Nature that makes my soul complete
