Appreciation

all this beauty around me
the forest, the lakes
the small hamlets
it makes me feel a real
appreciation

breathing in deep
there is no poison in the air
just a fresh clean smell
of grass, flowers, trees
I am lucky

I remind myself every day
"this is why I am here"
because of the beauty
of this part of the world

even the winter has its charm
the icicles on the branches
of tall trees
fresh, clean snow

the people who are from here
do they even know?
