View From The Top

I like to feel the cool breeze
And sound of a faraway waterfall
On the top of a hill I stand
Under a makeshift shade that was small

There were moments of rain and moments of light
Misty it was and suddenly would get bright

What I like about rain is that it makes you pause
Nature’s own way of putting its own clause

From the top of the hill the view was charming
Green carpet all the way down was heart warming

In this moment of pause I heard the sweet song of birds
They made it so melodious without any words

I saw the road that got me here
Twisting through the greens it was so very clear

But the beauty along the road I traveled
I didn’t before see
I was busy driving to some place
Where I could find the real me

But thank God for this lovely little hill top
Glad that I chose to make there a stop

Though there would always be new things to find
It made me appreciate what I left behind

Tomorrow I move on in the quest of a new place
But today this view from the top is what I embrace
