“…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.
