steam from stovetop espresso maker puts rainbows brief on stone kitchen counter top

this spinning planet, 
it is both big 
and small. 
the perspective of 
inhabitant, 
creates its size. 

and these
moments
that make up 
the breadth and 
width of our lives, 
each and 
every one, 
resplendent,
with tireless 
possibility. 

when you are
dark, softly
sit with shadow.
when you are
light, gently
tend your sight.
