Today, This Morning.

Today is the day I am going

To better myself for the people around me.

Today the day is nice and calm,

And a breeze is blowing.

I sit outside on my patio, watching

The birds go from tree branch to tree

Branch, their song filling the quiet

Morning air.

It is morning, have I mentioned that?

The sun shines above me like a pinched

Nerve, always glowing, like a big star.

The air is glowing, too.

I feel like I can conquer anything,

Including the depths of my own heart,

The heart that beats regularly inside my chest,

And there is a parade because it is summer,

And the night will be vast,

And I am vast with it.

The air is still, stiller than my heart,

And the rhythm of the wind is rhythmical.

Something is not in the way of us,

Not in the way, we go forward, always

Moving, stiller than breath.
