Iridescent dewdrops on the grass,
the temperature far more complex
than sixty-three degrees,
an iridescent scented mix
of warmth and coolness,
breeze conveying fir and grass and earth

Days bring new ways of openness,
fresh perspectives, and the chance to learn
to move without restraint, and with precision,
to value others rightly, to be grateful,
to love the moments offered,
and to offer myself,
free and present, to this splendid hour.
