I Am Not the Sum of Myself

Day Two


I Am Not the Sum of Myself

I am not the sum of myself
But of this life

The frog-song
First of the season
Calling in the soft warm twilight

The trillium petals
Sweet in the sunlight
Breaking through winter leaf-mold

The bird wings
Blue as the post-storm sky
Dancing through tender branches

We are not the sum of ourselves
But of this life
