Morning thoughts, a poem by Nia Simone

The Presence of the Tree

My computer glasses make me nearsighted
they dim what I can see beyond my computer screen
but when I gaze over their tops I see many leaves
upon a graceful tumult of branches.
Among the leaves moves the breeze
visible only by the presence of the tree.

I love your poem, and I can relate it to it so much, I keep walking out the door with my computer glasses and realising that I have the wrong glasses on.

I wish I could write the same way, but I only see buildings
I love the perspective in which you wrote it from!

  Thank you, Mark. I am very lucky to have that view and now to have time to look at it! Buildings can be inspiring too. They can reflect light in interesting ways. Here’s a photo painting I did of a building out the apartment window. http://niasimoneauthor.com/2013/05/19/paris-impressions-iii/
