Rose of Sharon says to me
that summer's getting on.
Tiger lilies tell me Rose is right.
Fireflies don't blink as brightly
as before in the dusty wood
and stars are much too good these days
at calling it a night.

Enough

It is a cup,
filled to the brim with days,
each filled to the brim with minutes
filled with all that life entails.
And if that's all there is, then it's enough;
the contents of this cup are rich as water
that quenches thirst and quickens us
and shows us in its crystal lens
the world and all its mystery,
enough for a life, and more.
