between showers…

A walk of gratitude in the garden
between showers
to feel
this

yesterday around 5:15
rather hot and tired, he picks me up
he in a crisp blue shirt
the finish of another work day
for both of us
as I strip off the dirt of the day,
he pours me a cold drink
and I
slip on
my wedding rings
we settle in
I have the whole evening
to spend
with my love
(I don’t always get this..)

Friday morning coffee
the first half of the day
together
errands and a stop at the library
this may not sound like much
but  today
my heart is
full

A walk of gratitude in the garden
between showers
to feel
this

out at dusk
to watch the last bits of sunlight
illuminate shadows of love
on the fence
and then to stand under shrouds of grey
rumbling overhead
and watch them whip
as a storm wilds it’s way
in

a brief break in the morning clouds
to watch the fish splashing
in the pond
and the frog
sitting quite
still
and quite content
in all his princely splendor

a walk of gratitude in the garden
between showers
to feel
this

Love
Peace
Gratitude

and again
to offer
my heart
In
full
to the sky

this may not sound like much
but
when it is this you have to give
trust me,
it is this that you
receive

so,  what do you say,

how about a walk of gratitude in the garden
between showers
to
feel

this  ♥
