There is truth to be found in all things The old man cleaning ******* from train platforms Steam rising from ice cold ponds at sunrise Frost clasping the tall grasses The orange, pink and blue of morning skies Glittering sea channels weaving through mud flats A father and daughter walking to the bus stop hand in hand Magpies flying overhead, dancing and swooping Concentric circles appearing as moorhens paddle A brave jogger running eastwards My daughter, sleepy, resting in bed My wife looking at me inquisitively My own reflection in the glass I notice such things And I ponder their beauty As I try to deeply understand The nature of things
