No Need Of A Wide Vista Poem by Adrian Flett

NO NEED OF A WIDE VISTA

Over early grass dew drops gather
shaft sun's oblique colour arrays
stayed there in red yellow green
and white, a colourful display.

While the sun, ever still
in this early time of day
watches dew drops, me move
as those refracted lights play.

I have no need of a wide vista
here is enough to fill the mind.
My view of dew gathered sparkles
leaves all troubled thoughts behind.

While an oriole without response hounds
this one-sided argument from a distant space,
to his melodious notes I'm mute to respond
If only I had the voice to enter the debate.
