patio

Of bricks
now and in remembrance. The tension
of time in the mind, its only residence.
Here in the patio
Sunlight
through the green.
The leaves and branches over head.
Amid the given, the things of the world.
Shadows
on the bricks, slhouettes of leaves,
alert to the patches of sunlight,
anticipating dusk.
Flowers
everywhere. A veritable laughter of design.
Unimaginable in their actuality.
Color abundant
each instance a whisper of wonder,
as the sitting still, observing,
enters in as it is entered into
Tranquility
