A refreshing lack of importance

What if mountain goat 
Took a note
From Sapien
And strove towards
The magazine cover?

What if wildflower
Built a tower
And strove to climb
To the top?

The city of field, forest, stream, and mountain
Whispered in my ear:
“You are no more or less important
Than a wildflower”

It was a refreshing
Lack of importance

(inspired by time spent hiking in silence in Glacier National Park)
