humility

Sparkle

in the right light
from even the worn and humble
beauty emanates

pause and let
time expand into
beauty’s forever unfolding

daffodil’s humility
amplifies
her magnificence

flakes as light as air
and still the humble pine
bows deeply to winter

so much
attention from the sun
petals blush

humble muddy beginnings
give rise to the feat of floating

in relation to
not competition with
oh to be one among many

In the heart of autumn
the mighty oak, humble and true,
presents the rich variety of shades of brown.
