Gifts


Red maple swings in the yard
and azaleas bow,
the finch sings to the music
while grasses rustle.

Sun beats the drum
on the skin,
the clouds move in a wave
while the ocean rolls in.

A gull rides the waves
as we sit on a log,
smashed into shore
on high tide.

A fogbow appears,
droplets in sun,
yellow-white,
a 360-degree arc.

We wept at the gifts of the sky.
