Abundance

the jagged edges of a cliff
reveal the calming shore,
busy eyes ski and glow
over gentle, snow cream slopes;
the stark, barren desert
distills its mystical charm,
waterfalls and rivulets
fill a heart with gushing warmth;
the inescapable darkness
draws me into its riveting folds,
storm clouds gather quietly
to distract a happy soul;
as I look outside with wonder,
and give thanks to an abundant world,
can I find a richness and beauty
as my inner landscape unfolds?
