gift

awake spry, energetic
without an ache or a pain.
  golden morning dawn
  with the green pine draped in snow.
foggy haze over the pond,
a silver gauze covers the world.
  the unknown young man patiently
  holds open the post office door.
the homey smell from a nearby house
of oak burning in a cast iron stove.
  the smell of the salt air, radiant blue sky,
  diamonds sparkle from the rough sea.
the sweet taste of home grown tomatoes
brought by the neighbor from his garden.
  a few of the gifts
  I get daily.
