Peace

Last day at the beach
I wake far too early
but I make the coffee anyway
and take a cup to the top deck

I sit in the chair
facing east
drinking in
the deepness
of solitude
the blessedness
of silence

Earth stirs a little
and sighs
like a baby in its sleep

Just ahead, high over the sea
Venus glitters and winks

I am the bright and morning star
I know you are

My waiting soul
cannot think
of anything else it wants
or needs
as black silhouettes
of pelicans
fly soundlessly by
against the sky
pinkening with light

Sunrise
signifying the end
of night

"So, this morning as I drove a well-worn path, I allowed myself to marvel at the majesty of a canopy road. To drink in the lush green covering, find respite in the shade, and delight in the patterns made by sunlight as it trickled through the leaves." SK

My addition to Sierra's poem:
Spring Flight

Together,

Up into the spring blue sky

It floated:

The giant balloon

And a little girl's

wonderings.

Indianapolis, IN

On sunny Spring days
Blue skies sharp and clear
Dotted with white fluffy clouds

Birds perch
On rooftops and tree branches
Chests puffed out
Tweeting and chirping
Singing joyously

Birds hop
Across greening grassy yards
Looking for food
Yet carefree

On cold Spring days
Sky heavy with gray clouds
Sporadically spitting snow

Birds huddle
On rooftops and tree branches
Feathers all ruffled
Quiet and still
Shivering and still

No birds hopping
To and fro on the green grass
Instead they wait
For sunny skies

I think I’m being pruned and propagated right now. I’m not growing green monstera leaves but I’m learning how to leave anxiety behind and become more strongly rooted in joy. Resentment and fears are being pruned away in this season of life to reveal richer relationships with friends and family.

We are pretty much like big green plants I guess. Water, sunlight and a little pruning go a long way.
