A Window Into Heaven
The sky framed by the trees
more beautiful than any sunset
more mysterious than the far reaches of space
more inspiring than the deep sea
like a window into heaven.
The horizon hidden by the forest
hugged by the warm sun
embraced by the ground
stretching around the whole world
above it, a window into heaven.
The clouds rising above the land
only they can truly hear the bird’s song
the trees try to touch them
but only the wind can reach them
beyond them, a window into heaven.
Mankind steps forward holding progress in its hands
they exploit the trees
they abuse the land
they destroy the world’s beauty
the only things left standing are the sky, horizon, and clouds
because they cannot touch them
they cannot touch the window into heaven.
