This. This morning green, alive and breathing,
which greets me. This radiant green,
filled with the whispered stories leaves tell
as the day begins, and with hidden birds
who have stories of their own, and with the countless
creatures who claim this space as home—this green,
singing of sun and summer, writing the opening lines
of this new day across my heart, filling me
with the certainty that all is Yes and born of joy.
