Together Poem by Eric Cockrell

God, it's a pretty day!
late summer sunshine,
with just enough of a breeze
to keep it from being unbearably hot...

in the distance the mountains
sit cross-legged like old monks,
practicing breathing...
in and out, embracing life.

so many people with problems,
yet still stopping to say 'hello'...
kind words, and a little laughter,
clouds hanging in a blue sky...

people are just people...
and that's what makes it all
worthwhile... fix what you can,
keep your head up, keep going...

we're in this thing together!
it's a beautiful day.... somewhere
fish are biting.... and people
sit down together to share a meal!
