Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem
as if we were looking
through the gates of heaven.

Time exists
so you don’t have to juggle
the whole sky at once.
Take advantage:
One breath,
One bite,
One step—
The world unfolds
A petal at a time
Don’t try to drink
The orchard.
The puzzle solved
Before it’s laid
Simply turn
The piece
That fits your hand.

We sit together,
the mountain and me
Until only the
mountain remains.

Am I late?
Or am I just fashionable?
Don't worry,
I'm great at making
a grand entrance,
even if it's slightly delayed.
Pixie's pretty little paws appeared first! Glorious post today.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem - and Pixie's gorgeous paws.
