On quiet days it becomes easy
to believe that a tap on the window
could be ants dancing
or a frog ready to speak

or perhaps a butterfly
demonstrating the possibilities
of a future beyond crawling.

On quiet days it is simple
to look up at an egret in flight
and despite the movement
see stillness

an angel exploring
familiar sky.
