walked a beach at sunrise
taken your shoes off on a sidewalk
felt the air between your toes in winter
have you ever
driven across country
which one and where did it take you
america vast and expansive
australia never ending beach front
italy a quick trip between immense beauties
have you ever
tasted an orange from a tree in southern cal
eaten a soft crab on a boat in maine
pulled mussels from a dock on the shore in the puget sound
small things
big things
life
is there more than this wonder of today
that becomes a multitude of today’s
that becomes one precious life
