Well Being
the sunlight
gave its energy
to the tomato
I ate
the carrots, the kale, the cucumbers
the celery, the beets, the radish
the spinach, the peppers, the parsley
from the ground they grew
sensing there was more
than darkness and dirt
they kept punching up
and saw the sky
that it was blue
felt the sun
the wind move
drank a drop of water
stood with trees
and petal flowers
watched the day open
and watched it close
night falls
but it’s not pitch dark
for the stars
so many stars
