#5

This taste of soup,

the sun’s warmth poured

through a window,

your face before me,

last night’s sleep,

a drink of water from 

summer’s snowmelt,

gravity holding us in its arms,

memories - both sweet and painful -

air given freely

to every living thing.

I could go on and on.

Life’s generosity is a friendship

we are never without.
