Outside my window at work

I was awed by life.

And here I sit,  
silent,  
lost in that awe.

A tree with its leaves shining;  
the sky, a gradient blue;  
pure white clouds fading in the sun:  
a moment to appreciate.

It may only be the view outside my window,  
but who painted it?  
thrilling my heart as any painter might --

Striking awe into a being  
now silent.
