Present

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. – Camille Pissarro

Tiny bouquets at my feet,

just when I need them,

these leaf-wrapped

offerings from nature await,

but to enjoy this miniature

gift of beauty, I must 

be willing to do something

extraordinary — stop,

bend down, hold still,

and breathe.
