CELEBRATE

I celebrate the sun
A sweet warm yellow
That dawns on my cheeks
Harvested from the
Fertile fields of infinity
Ancient stardust sprinkled
Over the wet sand

I celebrate the waves
The shrieking birds and city
Sprawling at my back
I celebrate the song
Of my time-worn body
Tumbling like a leaf
In a time-worn world
Coming and going
As might please it
To come and go

I celebrate this

Life telescoped into a fraction
Of its expanding breadth
As though someone said
"To see a world
In a grain of sand"
To which I'd say
And to celebrate it
To celebrate it
No other time than now

This photo, taken during my travels in the beautiful city of Melbourne, Australia, is my submission of the day to the #yoorsnovember pool. It's also a way to #celebrate (though with some delay) my first six months at Yoors. Nice to have met you all on this lovely platform, and I'll see you around.
