Small offering
Every breath,
a prayer
for All
on our beloved ridge -
and for the cool, green forests too
from dirt-bound gophers
to daredevil hawks -
Songbirds of all stripes,
bats, butterflies, the
shimmering, patient koi
Land of sunsets
and flying saucers —
where the gods
Dance
with fluid abandon
and we,
so very, very blessed,
share in their
Extravagant
Joy.
