Looking Out My Window

looking out the window
not looking at the screen
flowers, trees and evening light
with mountains in the scene

looking to the hillsides
imagining beyond
in the forest just behind
here where I belong

where trees are everpresent
in this sacred land
calmly facing anything
peacefully they stand

on the sides of mountains
on the sides of hills
and outside my window
as evening sunlight fills

every knock and cranny
flirting with the shade
a late summer evening
I cannot evade

while looking out my window
immersing in the scene
of other living beings -
not looking at a screen..
