If I had my druthers in how people behave

To respect the meaning of sanctuary

A nature preserve deserves reverence

Taking care not to disturb the inhabitants.

To go running there and cause a commotion

Scattering all creatures gone silent and hidden

Taking away the chance for others to enjoy

That is inconsiderate, intended or not.

Move about quietly with a hushed voice

To observe the wildlife briefly appear

Looking closely and listening carefully

Catching a glimpse of their goings on.

To get outside of our self absorbed concerns 

We must pause and take a deep breath

Being quiet waiting watchful all around us

Connecting our lives to our earthly existence.
