And That's Enough
I lay on my back in the grass
on this beautiful, warm, sunny day
in Colorado's mid-October.
And that's enough.
And I look up through
the tree with the shimmering,
golden leaves
in Colorado's mid-October.
And that's enough.
And through the tree branches,
the cloudless, blue sky serves as a
lovely backdrop
in Colorado's mid-October.
And that's enough.
~ Alamosa, Colorado
