Favorite things

One of my favorite things
is watching the little ants
hustle and bustle
doing the things ants do
One of my favorite things
is hearing the birds sing
dew still damp
on every blade of grass
every leaf
every stump
every grain of sand
One of my favorite things
is when the sea breathes
wooshing in and out
i close my eyes
sinking my breathing
with the ocean herself
One of my favorite things
is a fox kit
still wobbly in the knees
foggy eyed
filled with wonder
One of my fears is
what if i loose my favorite things
what if the small joys of life
slip out of my grasp
filter like sand
in a time glass
slowly counting down
the seconds in which
we have left on this planet
