Can I pause
for just a moment
to enjoy
this summer day?
With the
breeze teasing the branches and
a chickadee
brightly calling?
Can I stop
and listen to the cicada’s sultry whine?
Can I smell
the fragrant flowers on the sea salted air?
Will I pause
long enough to watch gulls wheeling overhead?
Or stop my
frantic rushing to watch a butterfly at rest?
Can my eyes
follow the darting of a jewel like dragonfly?
Can my heart
stop to fill with wonder on this perfect summer day?
Can my soul
drink it all in and hold it as a promise
against the
coming winter’s snow?
Can I taste
such sweetness and live?
