CHALLENGE: Perspective #1 Grass/Weeds
My backyard once used to be where I spent all my spare time. From playing soccer to those humid summer days running around in the sprinklers. Surprisingly although its merely just ten feet away from my bedroom I have ignored it for quite some time. The weeds have taken over and continually grow. The pure beauty that it once had with all the fresh cut grass and multitude of flowers lost. I took a moment to explore like I once did as a child. I began to notice a whole new perspective of not only my backyard but nature itself. The abundance of hidden objects and textures that nature embodies. The sound of a bird making her nest, the soft fall of an autumn leaf, a gentle drop of rain all take place in my backyard. Those small but significant events that occur everyday have been immensely overlooked and forgotten.
CHALLENGE: Perpective #2 Dandelion
Dear Dandelion,
Common flower that grows,
Children pluck at your sight,
I myself must confess,
Indeed I once used to commit this crime,
Oh do forgive me of abusing your heavenly beauty
Dear Dandelion,
Common flower that grows,
Small and white,
You once granted me a wish,
With faith I presumed to believe,
Truth that one day I would indeed,
Be a queen and perhaps,
Sail the open sea
Dear Dandelion,
Common flower that grows,
Your tiny plumes sparkle in a flutter,
I begin to deeply ponder,
As they float in the air,
An angel’s song for everyone to hear
Dear Dandelion,
Common flower that grows,
Through the stormy nights,
To the bright summer days,
Unnoticed by myself,
Sadly left to die,
Oh do forgive me of not keeping you alive
Dear Dandelion,
Common flower that grows,
Oh do forgive me,
For I have mistaken you presence,
And true beauty
CHALLENGE: Perpective #3 Angel
I walk out for one moment to get some fresh air. Walking slowly towards this angel prompted and seated peacefully in the corner of my yard. It softly looks up to me and says “Why hello young lady, for have you not noticed my presence?” Sadly I shrug and say “forgive me dear angel for I have not”. The angel then begins to deeply weep and moan and says, “I have always been here keeping watch over you and feel alone”. I begin to ponder that perhaps surely I have made a mistake, for God’s promise is to give everyone their own guardian angel. The past ten years I have forgotten the most heavenly gift given to humankind. “I forgive you dear child, I see you have grown and your beauty has matured” the angel says. I thank her and promise that I will no longer leave her all alone.
