my greatest moment today
was when
I just stood beside the tree
and put my hand against it
and looked at the distant clouds
and long I looked at the distant clouds
and then when I looked down
I saw the inquisitive roots
of the tree
that had crept up above the earth
and also
I saw a bird close to my feet;
that was my greatest moment today
when the tree and the clouds
and the roots and the person and the bird
were together in one quiet moment
