Yeah! "Attitude!" Really will get you through! Really! I know!

 
Attitude!?
 
Let me know Peace!-within---then…I live Truth!
 
Awoke-fresh this morn’ to most-gentle rain
Syncopated-cadenced  “pitter-patter” refrain
 
“Thank You! Lord” For Mother Nature’s-Love!
Satiating her bounty celestial-guidance above
 
Soft whisper-wind cool through open-window delight
Tender-caress tingle revived body at hinted dawn-light
 
Attitude-toward-life harbors appreciation-of-gift
Comfort-found in kaleidoscope flower-garden sift
 
Some might angrily-foolish complain-“Inconvenient
I revel satisfaction-complete acceptance myriad-sentient
 
 Fresh-sent spring-rain an olfactory pleasure-placate
Refreshing-respite soothes a spirit-measured sedate
 
I smell through fanciful-“sense” nature’s promise-wind
A 24-hour notice of open-mind to what day may bring
 
Laugh!? I’ll not blame thee to doubt that I might possible-know
Sting-fresh nose tingle-prediction of winter-time chilling-snow
 
Attuned to nature---like life…I allowed my old skeptical-protégé
We were building a barn at Thanksgiving in pragmatic fanciful-play
 
Ole “Charley” suspicious when I announced, “I smell snow!”
Twenty minutes later the elder flinched-away ice-pellets show
 
Never said a word, the old man in uncertain contemplation-circumspect
Wondering, “How did he know?” He grudgingly offered an earned-respect
 
Mother Nature “speaks” to any who humble might choose only listen
Any Then has been; Now just is; Future prognosticates today’s-missin’
 
Pay attention! Mon Amie!---Waste-effort reaching back… forfeit the ‘morrow!?
There’ll be time for lament-in-counting; refuse participate in all vacant-sorrow
 
Choose wisely! Decide quickly! Rebuke procrastination! Conclude Truth!
Deceive-self faux-knowledge in ignorance-denial? Pay at the toll-booth!
