Paradise

We’re building a house in paradise,
building it much more slowly
than winter peas which finally flower
despite the constant munching of them
by me and deer

We’re building paradise
with each instance of persistent care,
with our attention, our humbleness,
our patience,
and the quick moments of looking up
to notice the wonder of the day.
