Sunday Numbers

Three cups of coffee,

Three loads of laundry,

One candle burning,

Ten minutes turning beneath the sun.

One blue sky,

One yellow butterfly,

One phone call across miles,

Two trips down the spiraling hill.

Dozens of birds in harmony,

Three bags of weekday groceries,

Too many hours in bed,

Unknown pages read.

One orange sunset,

So many trees,

Two open windows,

Another new beginning.
