THE VIEW FROM ABOVE







I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun...





I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one...






I will look at cliffs...






And clouds...

With quiet eyes...






Watch the wind bow down the grass...






And the grass rise...






And when lights begin to show

Up from the town...

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

Edna St. Vincent Millay






I hope you enjoyed the view from above....Judy


I am sharing the view today with:

    Beautiful photos and poem, Judy. I like the way the photos illustrate the poem and your porch looks pretty at night with the lights.------ Shannon

    Hi, Judy...love this pretty post...and love the lighted porch, too.
    I just bought some lights to put on my porch but haven't strung them yet. Mr. Sweet rolls his eyes when I mention it. :)) MEN...!! They just don't get it.

    That is one of my favorite poems - we can all understand the sentiment - you've paired it beautifully with these wonderful photos! I appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,

    I love the front porch picture with the lights strung up. It is a reminder to me to put mine up.
