No. 15 - Not A Waste

The light takes time

To shine

No reason to hurry it finds

For the bird’s song

Is the backdrop of becoming

Turning black to purple

Purple to pink

All the while never asking

“So, what do you think?”

Steadier than cold water running from the kitchen sink

It fills the sky

With orange, blue, and white

Never pausing for applause

But simply giving

Purpose to our open eyes

No dusk or dawn is rushed

In haste

May I take a lesson

From the sun’s pace
