Sometimes,one gullflying slowly,low overheadis enough.Enough reasonto love this mystery.
Sometimes,the long shadowsgrowing acrossthe late afternoon grassis enough.Enough reasonto stop worrying.
Certainly,in the deep dark,the real night skyalive with energy beyond countis far and enough reasonto kneel.
