One Day at a Time

One day at a time –

One cloud humming in a pure sky,

One dying tree,

Russet leaves falling.

The flight of one hawk calling

The laugh of one young monkey

In the towering trees,

One caught gecko cheeping

Between my cat’s teeth.

One call from a friend –

Oh, how deep this goes!

One coyote’s song

So wild, so old.

All I have to do,

While I am waiting,

Is listen

One day at a time.
