We Are Here

The little things 

are numerous and many.

Their size belies

their importance.

In younger days

everything needed to be

BIG, GRAND,

SIGNIFICANT.

There is still a place

for that 

but in the cracks

exists so much beauty

that we otherwise

miss.

A picture sent

from old friends,

a hello, a birthday

greeting,

to acknowledge

we are still here

in this season 

of falling leaves.
