anything becomes the day

at least one a day
like doing sets of push ups
to keep the arms and upper
body strong turning pages
as I fill this book keeps
this mind strong
at least that is what I will say
when asked some days
it's as natural as thinking
not quite as natural
as breathing actually
watching a hawk in a tree
one that doesn't notice me
the sun is bright and makes
me feel warm despite the cold air
discovering something
nearly new everyday
looking into the things taught
and seldom questioned
many years later wonder
why no one has any time to wonder
too busy to think about anything
that didn't make it on to
the schedule today
and I am enjoying my days off
I try to keep it simple
that way anything
can become the day...
