Atop the bluff

by JLR

I stand gazing atop a bluff, amazed
by the beauty seen beyond my high perch.
The greenest of greens enhance my sure gaze.
Heaven's gates are quite near this perfect church.

Beautiful rolling clouds gently drift north.
I stand gazing atop a bluff, amazed.
Upward breezes swirl and twirl back and forth.
The air is cooling, but I am unfazed.

Into the sky, I find my arms upraised.
Steeped in thought by this beauty before me,
I stand gazing atop a bluff, amazed.
My soul is filled with love at what I see.

Suddenly, out of the trees come twin fawns,
amid plentiful wildflowers, they graze.
The golden sun rays turning their coats bronze
I stand gazing atop a bluff, amazed!
