Yesterday and tomorrow whisper
the muted hum of bumblebees inspecting
a fragrant bank of honeysuckle
the purr of a cat stretched full-length
in a pool of morning sunlight
the soft buzz of a hovering hummingbird
testing a heavy-headed lilac
today and tomorrow tell me their secrets
in hushed library voices
while today remains silent, tranquil, a mirror
coolly reflecting, in elegant detail,
the truths already known to my heart
