Thursday Poem - For This One Day

Let fall from our hands
the busy pages and works.
Walk in the sunlight
and read the holy book of earth
leaf by cloud, wave by wing.
Listen by moonlight
to wind and cricket, owl and wolf.
In the smooth skin of stones,
in the flowing heart of trees,
in the gathering ocean,
we will know each other again
for the first time.

Dolores Stewart (Riccio)
