The View From The Window Poem by Gert Strydom

Picturesque the garden,
the flowers, the lawn, the trees
and even the sky with patches of clouds
is set out through the study's window

but no artist, even a supreme master,
is up to get the exact hues, of colours
depth and variations of light
exactly right

and this scene is vibrant
with bright colours and living light
and movement caused by the wind,
insects and birds
and it is ever changing in tone and hue,
always to something new.
