Nirvana?

Inside four walls
the body wakes at dawn,
the mind already restless.
I step out in the backyard.
Clouds drift.
Mist falls softly.
A bird shrills
from the tip of the Italian spruce.
A crow flies
to begin his day.
A ruby-throated hummingbird
sips quietly from the feeder.
The garbage truck rattles past
with yesterday’s remains.
Yet, the apricot tree blooms,
the Buddha sits still beneath it.
In that stillness,
nothing is missing.
Nirvana?
