perched on a solitary leaf
the world gathers
all thoughts merge, concentrated
in the spheres of fresh rain
balancing their diamond scent on
the magnified cells below
seconds alone, maybe; yet
no space for other truths or quandries
one moment fully absorbed
and each day the seconds grow
open your eyes a little wider tomorrow
to the small, the beautiful, the overlooked
the sky is unbound, and it calls
