For What it's Worth

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES


For What it’s Worth

 

The taste of fresh clean water

A sparkling stream

A moonlit sky

A drive along the coast highway

Hearing Santana for the first time

Jazz on the Coltrane

A walk in Central Park

Laughter in a canyon

The smile of a stranger

A celebratory birth

The things we take for granted

For what it’s worth

 

A fine Beaujolais at dinner

Fresh ale at the end of a ride

Visions of an eagle’s flight

A dance of muses

Botticelli’s masterworks

A magic bus to the heavens

A dive to ocean depths

The crisp high mountain air

Kids on a playground

The miracle of birth

The things we take for granted

For what it’s worth

 

Tracking down a long fly ball

A kite on the wind

The scent of cinnamon pastry

The immortal soul of Billie Holiday

A floating white cloud

The mourning cry of a dying sun

The song of a rising moon

The glory of Crazy Horse

A warm fire on a frigid night

Life on planet earth

The things we take for granted

For what it’s worth
