During the long list of days
that has made up your life,
have you noticed how each one
opens differently?
And how each day's close
is never the same?
No matter the number of days
you have accumulated,
each dawn and sunrise
should be a surprise.
Every dusk after sunset
should leave no regret.
Cloud formations grow then dissolve,
changing by the minute.
The water in the mountain stream today
is not the same as yesterday.
This week's wildflowers will be dying
when next week's begin to blossom.
And the birds?
Each and every day of their short lives,
they unravel their sweet songs,
and live.
