Call It Any Name - Judith Vaughn

Call It Any Name

Yesterday, I stood in front of a purple Mexican Bush 
Sage, though call it any name, call it something
beautiful, call it a color reflecting sunlight, tangible as 
the glimmering hummingbird hovering, whose 
harmonic cricketing hum awakened my delight. 

I spoke to my companion, “look at the world reaching 
out in splendor and celebration. Isn’t it grand?”
He cocked his spotted head, his amber eyes smiled 
assent, his tail wagged, he sniffed the fragrant air wafting. 
All of us joined cells, one chimera, a moment in the day.
