When you see the world through knowing eyes
Everything's so clear.
Whether blades of grass or butterflies,
It all becomes so dear.
There is beauty everywhere you look.
Where Nature becomes an open book,
Whether seeing far or looking near,
Everything's so clear.
When you hear the Loon or Eagle's cry,
Everything's so clear.
Just listen to cricket lullaby,
Music to your ear.
Enfolded inside Nature's embrace,
Connects our soul with a primal place,
Our natural inborne atmosphere,
Everything's so clear.

Author Notes
I was walking around Lake Palmer in Woodbury, Minnesota last Sunday with my Grandson, Jeremy. He was on one path, and I on another. I snapped this picture of him, standing below a hill, through the grass and clover. The way the plant circled his eye inspired this poem.
This poem is a Nonogram. The "Non" indicates the usage of 9. Never heard of it? I just created it.
A Nonogram is similar to an Octogram, with similar rhyme scheme, except instead of integrating 8 and 4 meter, it uses 9 and 5, and the a rhyme doesn't repeat like the B rhyme does. It consists of two stanzas with a meter of:
9-5-9-5-9-9-9-5.
The rhyme scheme is:
aBabccbB aBabddbB, where the capital letters indicates a repeated line.
