It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.
It could you know. That's why we wake
and look out--no guarantees
in this life.
But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.

This takes my breath away.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Don't know Stafford. Will find more of his work. I need the reminder to live in the present.
