Brightening

Full moon setting over neighboring ridge in early morning light.

Brightening

5/6/12

Hired help cutting

tall grass,

vehicles

washed clean, sunshine,

perfect temperature,

neighbors,

putting things away,

disorder straightened

up,

bills paid, money

left over,

telephone calls, visits,

to those

ailing,

new tattoo delivering

joy, garden

weeded,

plants watered, whales

in bay,

motorcycle

ready to ride,

inspired by

people,

this land, community,

Existence, full

moon,

brightening my life.
