Abundance


Abundance

My cup runs over
with wine, rest and peace

friends bring other friends
washing our rooms with laughter

the small dog loves everyone
unreasonably

work waits for me patiently
new books line up like a smiling army

the sea’s in full swell this morning
someone’s arranged stripes of light on the hills

indoors, wire and foil imitate stars
sprinkling the night with eternity’s sparkle.
