worthy of our attention

storytellers
and starry skies
dust encrusted treasures and green unfathomable miracles.
raised to be a rebel
three centuries crammed into one
an old soul amongst the new.
silliness, laughter, labor and innovation
learned love of gritty beauty
there's magic in the rain.
stolen glimpses of life's discovery
to see the growth of movers and shakers
satisfaction at being able to help lift, not rise, to the top.
mint and lilies by the water's edge
snowy stillness and crackling fires
exhausted nighttime summer drives
it is easier to speak in the darkness.
in your glow the noise falls away
replaced with awe
you are beautiful.
