The Ordinary Day

One day I will look back and see
that this was the golden hour—
this ordinary Tuesday in October,
this coffee, this unhurried shower.

The life I'm living is already precious,
not the life that's somewhere ahead,
the remarkable is happening right here,
in the unremarkable instead.

Today is not practice for tomorrow,
today is the whole thing, complete—
this ordinary day is extraordinary
for those who know how to see.
