Three fat raindrops
glisten and cling
to a bare outstretching twig.
*
Through the tracery
of a scarred walnut
three early stars
startle the dark.
*
Tossing crumbs with glee
three children
conjure a skyful of gulls.
*
Three cheers for the heart.
Three cheers for the Maker.
Sufficient for the day is the wonder therein.
