I look outside my apartment
and see the leaves on the trees
like never before
and I marvel at how green the
reborn leaves have become
this month of April.
Before I was retired, I never
noticed these wonders of
nature. I was so consumed
with my job, I paid no
attention to them.
Now I see them as though
my senses have become
alive beyond belief,
as though I have new eyes
that have opened to nature’s
seasonal splendors with
greater clarity and sight.
And I see the beautiful blue of the sky
and the greening of the lush grass
that surrounds my apartment.
Now I appreciate the greening
of April like never before.

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
