in our daily haste to not miss
sales, appointments, buses, flights,
we tend to overlook the world
that gives us all these options
the awe-inspiring heights of our mountains
frightening majesty of our seas
powerful forests breathing life
the elegance of animals
a pleasant view of cultivated land
even the buzzing habitat of cities
we may be only a small part of seven human billions
yet it behooves us well to be aware
and celebrate
the fragile beauty of our world
