1 cent coffee?
At Tim Hortons, the voice over the
Drive thru speaker said, "Yes."
With 3 timbits, my bill came to a dollar.
I drove a few minutes north to a
Secluded spot in a parking lot that
Overlooked a grassy knoll abounding
With dandelions.
The wind heaved my car a bit.
I was content to sip my warm brew
Seated inside.
Like a kid I tried to find figures in
The clouds.
I spied a fish before it quickly
Dissipated, and the head of a
Bird with a crooked beak.
Overhead was a live bird, a
Vulture searching for its prey on this
Cool sunny day.
From a distance I could see that the
Buds were beginning to bulge on the
Bare limbed trees, and of course, the
Evergreens were their ever soothing
Green.
I wasn't alone in my car.
I talked to God while I nibbled the tasty
Honey dipped donut holes trying to
Make them last.
I thanked Him for the bluest sky,
The puffiest clouds,
The dandiest dandelions, and I
Thanked Him that we could enjoy His
Handiwork together.
