Today
Today is an elderberry pie baking in the oven. Today is no cancer for my dear friend and her mother can breathe again. Today is the sun shining on the sunflowers while the yellow finches sing amongst the fuzzy bees. Today my diet coke was cold and frosty down my throat and made me say " that's good" and I thought of my dad. Today the dog hair nests make me shrug. Tomorrow they will still be there.

Beautiful-like poetry
Yes, the dust will wait for us. It only grows more lovely and larger for our neglect. But the yellow finch? Fleeting and beautiful. The Diet Coke? It will become flat. Best to admire these temporal gifts and let the dog hair wait.
