If I could speak to you
I’d tell you things,
under this sunlit sky
and while somewhere
a towhee sings.
I’d share some thoughts,
for just a while,
the varied odds and ends
that comprised my day
and made me smile.
Though I don’t know how
or why this should be true
I’d share the sunlight
and the singing bird,
my friend, with you.
