Heart centered day today
Rouses me from stacks and lists
Rising from my desk I turn
And detour out the door
Aged all-knowing treebark face
Winks with grace and praise
Lunch today is a piece of sky
Served cool and iridescent blue
Nourishment for my soul and self
Carried swift along rain-glutted creek
Changed, Still, Present, New
