wind outside the mall
and as I wait
with my eyes closed
a killdeer calls
from another life
hay wagon
at rest, waiting
for the next load

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…
in the eye
of the beholder

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
black swallowtail
chooses to settle a spell
on a purple thistle

if we looked together
at this little vignette
and said nothing at all
might it bring us closer
and give us peace of mind?
forest floor
the housekeeping
of it all
