A Slice of Life

A smile is layered across the horizon
In response to the promised day; a confection
Of goodness atop the earths crust.

The heat of day moves in circular strokes
Leavening the surface in preparation
For the moment; each ring a step;

A walk in pursuit of a purpose unknown.
Even the trees cannot be assured of the height
That is needed to reach their full potential.

Coda:

A galaxy of halos ring,
Resounding in triumph,
Each movement a designation
Without end; complete… still…
