A routine is routine
A reheated cup of coffee
A third of the day done
A break not needed but welcome
A few moments to stand by the fence
On my side a lumber mill
On the other side the trees
On my side a parking lot
On the other side the river
On my side a job to do
On the other side a dream to have
I stand at the fence
I look through the trees
I ponder the river
I drink the coffee
I focus past the chain link
I meditate on the day
Today is a blessing
Today is sweat
Today is opportunity
Today is a sore back
Today is this coffee
Today is this mill
Today is this river
Today is this meditation
