The Piece That Fits

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.
     Cloudia Charters 







  We sit together, 
the mountain and me 
  Until only the 
mountain remains.
Li Po (701–762)

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.
