When the sky comes in
brightest blue
after an abundance of wind
and rain
and the sun brilliantly begins
coaxing out each tiny bud
and
leaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I have spent several hours
of the morning
with my love
where we have walked
the gardens
making
plans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In afternoon light
the pups and I, we do the same
this time a quieter more meditative
walk
in grateful things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many days now
in this beautiful light
when I am out
a small, ever so graceful
delight
flutters around and comes to land
by my
side<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a lovely red admiral
brings tidings
of
presence
and great joy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in
peacefully
perfect days \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I think behind me, I might break. <\/em>
If I think forward, I lose now. <\/em>
Forever will be a day like this <\/em>
Strung perfectly on the necklace of days.\u201d <\/em>
