Morning Delights

The neighbor’s dog and pup romping and playing in the yard

A squirrel and robin playing tag in the maple tree

A morning visit from the black cat that lives across the alley

The garden’s thirst quenched by a steady rainfall

To witness all of these and be thankful that I am not so jaded as to miss the joy and beauty in each.

small stones – May 21, 2016

language escapes me
as does thoughts
this lingering fog
surrounds me
a vice upon my mind
for now, I will
merely observe
await a clearing
that I know must come
