Poem of the Moment
Welcome to poems.
Every few weeks we pop a new poem up here to read or listen to. We only share poems that the poet has intentionally put in the public domain, or where we’ve gotten permission directly.
There’s a link below to explore more about the poet. Check them out, buy their books, support us all living in a world of poems.
Enjoy!
Almost Effortless
A humble contentment.
Because blue green spruce
by the creek bed.
Because ancient red
of sandstone cliffs.
This almost forgettable moment
not forgotten.
This small seeing.
This ease in being, unearned.
Because the tips of the spruce
are more silver, softer.
Because afternoon mist
somehow mingles it all.
Because sometimes when I try,
I cannot feel the connection.
This moment when trust is.
This sinking of my foot
into slick, wet earth.
This small thing.
This everything.
