envious stare …
on the neighbor’s lawn
greener grass
sudden scarcity compared
to another’s abundance
still water …
the promise of hope
in a new day
why all of the sighing
and sleeves wet with fresh tears?
windchime melody
and birdsong harmony …
a day’s simple peace
still the gnawing sorrow
at another’s joy?
sunlight on your face
that welcome warmth on your face …
an unopened gift
seeing a clear sky
through an unwarrented blur
