Just enough
is all I need
enough work
enough play
enough to live on
and still be generous
enough time alone
and enough time with friends
enough fresh air
and sunshine
enough sleep
and enough exercise
enough coffee and croissants
just enough of everything
and not too much of
anything
Just enough
Two days ago
I raked away the oak leaves
piled at the bottom of
a small tree in the front yard
and today that little tree
has sprouted sweet
yellow blooms.
I do not know that I
can claim credit,
but secretly
I do.
Whispers of Spring
A shift of light
through branches bare
the difference slight
yet surely there
The birdsong's cheer
a bit more bright
the sky more clear,
the air feels light
I have no proof of anything,
yet, sure I'm not imagining
that Mother Earth is whispering,
Soon Spring
Soon Spring
Soon Spring
