Touching to Share the Sun

From down here

I can’t see the sky.

Yet, I know it’s there.

The trees above me

Have a better view.

Magnificent giants.

They grow their leaves

In cooperation with one another.

Touching to share the sun.

Light sneaking through the canopy above

Hits my eyes gently with green.

I am fed.

Have I forgotten the simple things

That bring me health and joy?

They are still here.

And the beings that I love are near

Did I remember to let them know?

Our hearts touching to share the love.
