glad we’re close

Ode to the day of simplicity
—a quiet mind

Where there’s…

enough stillness—
for turtles to find balance on logs

enough work to be finished—
so rest can soak in

enough kindness—
so silence can be trusted

enough gentleness—
for a dragonfly to meet the tip of a blade of grass

enough silliness—
for creativity to dance between friends
