“…another step to futures…”…“Look up,” my poem
think a good thought…
Look up
Sure enough, another dawn
released another day,
a chance to see this old world
another way,
to take another step to futures,
a blink in time, oh sure,
but another whole day
to be alive,
to think a good thought,
to pause just once
to really spy the sallow clouds
and glance across the doughy sky,
and chance to see
that patch of personality
in the western span,
to think that, yes,
the clouds have their own time,
in separate beats,
and I can savor mine.
