the great blue heron . plays out the cycle of life . and eats its breakfast
to live a full life . it helps to hear the music . in quiet moments
what looks like decay . is often shedding of what’s . no longer needed
each experience . leaves behind a question that . might never get asked
how we see a field . of flowers, is how we see . the rest of the world
for a brief moment . the world lights up with colors . that will soon be lost
the warmer weather . overwhelms the senses with . sights and sounds of spring
the problem with time . is we think we have so much . when there’s so little
a delicate shell . was once all the protection . its builder needed
as the newborn leaves . flutter in dappled sunlight . nothing else matters
