dear right now,

Right now:

there are kittens being born
someone is dreaming
a skinned knee is bandaged and kissed
a bullet has been fired
rain is falling
healing is occurring
the last shovelful has fallen on the grave
crops are being planted
night has fallen
birds are singing
oceans endure
Right now:
a fire is burning
deep grief is felt
kites are flying
peepers are preparing
Right now:
a blow has been dealt
we wonder
hope remains aloft
we make the decision
the heartbeat fades
the sun shines for us all
the dog sighs
All right now.
