Sunrise Memory
I remembered this morning’s sunrise
Smiling at its beauty,
Then quickly laughed at myself
For not enjoying it while it was happening.
What’s the purpose
Or the reason
To enjoy an aspect of the season
When that aspect has come and gone?
A silly thought
That brings me back to the moment
So that this time around
I may actually know it,
Because a sunrise in the mind
Is never a sunrise on the skin.
