Evening coolness begins to flow in
through the tops of trees,
deeply welcome
after the day’s heat

Everything has meaning  –
blackbird song and colors through the windows,
the ponderous importance of everybody’s life.
Even moths and dandelion fluffs
have infinite weight
in the balance of eternity,
as do you, my friend,
as do you.
