Today I saw a giant tub of whipped cream
Spilled across the morning sky.
You may call them clouds, I call them cream.
Today I saw a tiny hummingbird
Taking very careful inventory
Of the blossoms on a tree.
Today I saw two squadrons
Of black birds on a secret mission
Across the dawning sky.
Today I saw the waxing moon
Refusing to call it a night
By lurking on the horizon.
Today I saw me looking up
To marvel at the gifts I’m given
For merely raising up my eyes.

To look is not always to see.
