Drawn to Both

I am drawn to both

nature’s most grandiose of displays

on oversized canvases

in the most splendid color-arrays

and

the most exquisite of details

etched in such things as

the wings of insects

or the beauty of silence

in a still, pensive creature

basking like me

in that unfiltered

mixture of watercolors

spanning the vast heavens

above us.

Some days, I am that sunrise.

Some days, I am that insect.

All days, I feel blessed

to be celestially cradled

by such a loving

Mother Nature.
