On Taking a Different Path

I took a different path today,

not my regular route,

not my regular rut.

 

Trying to gain new perspective

because even those who examine

and reflect and remember –

 

Miss things

calling them mundane

instead of miraculous.

 

The connection

to the world

in a box.

 

Sun shining

devoid of the shadow

of eclipse.

 

Birds chiping

on tree branches

creating oxygen

 

to breathe

to live

to dream.
