Jotting from my journal: Day #107 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Too Beautiful to Miss

She absentmindedly pours the coffee, as if 
pouring the coffee isn't 
the most important thing,

steps out the front door, forgetting
to notice the moment when 
feet meet the welcome mat, 

forgets to notice 
the cool May breeze,
the song of the wind chimes.

As she sits on the front porch 
and takes that first sip, she is already 
on her way to the next, next thing. 

	Stop. Says everything.

Come here 
to where the honeybee drinks  
from the lavender, 

to where the still-young pup rolls 
in the still-green grass. 

Everything is on its way to gone.

Or perhaps, 
on its way to being 
something else. I don't know.

It's all too beautiful to miss.
Come here. 
Come here now.
