May 11: A Hymn


We would call it an ordinary day,
nothing of importance to report
beyond the usual matters,
the errands and walking the dog.

There was a picnic under trees
sheltered from the breezes,
a meadowlark crossing the field
and music from the song sparrow;

and a hope these works of wonder
not cease, but persist--
to the rhythms of the clocks
which beat in our wrists.
