Mar 2019
Sometimes watch the sky as things come by
As the clouds move and pass and life goes by
Counting what you have as the rains fall
Embracing every moment as the night queens grow

Before trees reach heights other leaves fall
The stems may be strong but stronger winds blow
Just stare as they fall don’t cry “hell no”
For seeds that germinate to the ground they belong

Don’t fight too much this March
Watch things fall into place without mismatch
Feel the sparkle of the room around you
As you inhale the fresh air that surround you

Listen to the hands of time as the clock tick
As night insects field crickets from ground level sing
Hidden in a burrow, beneath a stone
Chirping, against a scraper rubbing a file on one wing

A calling song attracting females from a distance
Softer courtship song woos her from a close range
A rivalry song rebuffing competing males with stunts
Don’t fight, embrace life as things change
