On Another Day (Day 67)

On another day,

I might have worried, but
The mockingbirds told me 

Today is a good day

To be careless,

To let the wind run
Its fingers through my hair,

To plant a dozen irises

Along the stone path,

And to look up, 

Into the midnight sky, 

Where a host
Of shimmering stars
Are consolation for
Even the darkest night
