"The Tiniest Star"

Looking down from
my spot on the bluff
I saw the ribbon of
river shift from light
to shadow, dodging
the sun as a sailboat
made its way toward
the bridge. I sat in a
rocking chair on the
front porch and drank
my first cup of coffee,
as had become my habit
in the last week, trying
to identify what was so
different there, what
made the light seem
drenched in yellows
spilling over the roof
of my home, the fall
of golden light shining
through the low clouds,
God and the tiniest star
in the sky having guided
me and my family to this
new house after the fire,
and I thought of what life
had given me: a chance
to start over, and plant
a garden that made you
believe in tomorrow again.
