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
