Today, it’s good
to greet the sun
(the unpredicted sun)
sleepy, to the sound of turkeys
and the sight of steam
from the outdoor shower
turning into a cloud as it rises
against the blue,
to feel a patch of sun between the trees
squarely on my shoulder

Today it’s good to feel
the fountain of my source,
a light, a fire, a radiance,
deep within, and deep below
all the surface fixtures of the day,
today it’s good to notice all of this.
Today, it’s good.
