<no title>

Standing outside staring at a tree
gentles our eyes

We cheer to see fireflies
winking again

Where have our friends been all the long hours?
Minds stretching

beyond the field become
their own skies

Windows doors grow more
important

Look through a word swing that sentence
wide open

Kneeling outside to find
sturdy green

glistening blossoms under the breeze
that carries us silently
