A burst of colour
Breathes life
Into a space
Of regimental order

A burst of colour
Breathes life
Into a space
Of regimental order
On a new day
Of a new year
I remind myself
Do the work
To stay focused
On what’s important
Too close
Lost in detail
Context forfeit
Insight dubious
Caution advised
Reach for me, my friend
From the gloom besetting you
I have light to spare
Even at this narrowest end
The breadth and depth
Of the canyon
Makes Earth
Feel
small
In the midst
Of expansive glory
She finds wonder
In the smallest
Little things
It is that smallest
Little thing
About her
I love
Most
Celebrate the joy
Shared with friends
On an adventure
Making a meal
Out of life
A trickle
Where sometimes a flood
In a land grown thirsty
While from the sun falls
Torrents of heat
And light
In a valley
Deeper than shadow
Smooth gravel
Through sparse country
Makes me happy
On a cool, calm morning
Overcast, serene
The river and the people
Flow out to the shore
There to be lost
In their own way
To the surf and the sea
