Day Come Lightly
By Molly Frederick
The blue sky, and how it disappears
into its own vision of tomorrow.
Then the full, high clouds,
piling in together,
as they huddle soft with pink.
How I enjoyed this day where the future
did not loom, nor raise a question.
Once in a while perfection is reached.
And—without anything unusual
to announce it—it happened today.
This is lovely and heartwarming, so necessary for right now
