Because I Sat
____________________________________
Because I sat for a moment
On a stone bench
Feet on pebbled concrete
I noticed more bird song
With each breath
In
Then
Out
I saw a crow fly above me
With long bits of the garden
In beak
Back
And
Forth
Creating home in a tall white pine
Life was happening
Around me
Not
To
Me
Because I rested
Breathing
In
Then
Out
