People Over Politics, World Over Wealth
~~~~~
~~~~~
From where I sit, I hear my wife making salad.
I see the piano where she sits and plays.
I look out my window and see the hills behind my house,
covered in trees and bushes, bottom to top.
I enjoy the comfortable home my love has created
and admire her beauty, grace, and style.
I watch my laptop computer, where I type these words
and see the notebook where I have written other verse.
I feel the smaller notebook in my back pocket
full of the music of words and meaning.
I admire books, ranked in bookcases
and stacked at random on tables and desks.
I am encompassed by the symmetry of my life
and the fullness of each and every day.
