Small Steps and Huge Rewards

At sunset the hills dialate
gold to red the great ball sinks
as the earth rolls towards
a pale shade of blue

I wait on the symphony of stars
silent, my back against the oak
as the deer arrive for the fallen corn
then, when the wind shifts
their heads lift and turn in my direction

My pulse slows, here in the palm of earth
where scents delight my senses
where I touch the soil just for the sake
of knowing I am a part of everything

The moon introduces itself to me again
I hold a star between my fingers
then, wink at Venus as she begins to shine
It's a short walk home that takes an hour
my head up, one slow step at a time

...and these are the things that make soul sing
...and these are the days that gives my heart wings.
