all things bright and beautiful

it is good
to sit silently
with a small, calm purpose

it is early in the morning
but already dinner is simmering
the dishes washed
sunlight reflecting miniature sunrises
off teapots, glasses

the heat of the day has only begun to envelop the house

the day sits
words to be written

for a moment
i am rooted
i have found my place in the world
small
bright
and unassuming
