Right now:
All the leaves grow green
With laughter.
They don’t have to chase after.
Like we often do.
Right now:
Clouds across blue sky,
They don’t have to say why.
That’s just what they do.
Right now:
Why sea and sun attract us,
Why the stars can stop us,
‘Cause it’s all there for you.
Right now:
Autumn colors that surround us.
They don’t ever ask much.
Just notice what they do.
Right now:
The white and cold remind us,
Sadness often leaves us
When we welcome in the new.
Right now:
There are no limitations.
Only invitations
To be here, anyhow.
