A poem a day for 2013 - day 333 - Clear

Did you sit on the porch today
And see the sky
Did the clouds turn red before your eyes
A dog bark at your feet
A car creep down your block
Did you hear the grass grow
Say hello to your neighbor
Rest your elbows on your knees
Your head in your palms

Did you count your breath in the silence of the day
Let a worm crawl across your toes
Sip tea and ginger
Count the cracks in the road

Did you live today
With your hands in your lap
Your head in the sky
With love on your tongue
