interrupted by traffic noise
and church bells chiming

humble afternoon occupation
mending the world
one tear at a time

resolutions resolve
into light rain tapping
at my morning window
resolute in its grayness,
not hesitating to rainbow
at the slightest glimmer of sun

insistent, urgent
color not glimpsed until that first rainy day
when GREEN will not be ignored
pebble of joy 4/5/2024
I sit on the bench at the bottom of the garden
listening to the exuberant repertoire
of a young mockingbird, perched high overhead.
His songs of robins, cardinal, titmice and bells,
crow calls, car alarms, a variety never fails
to enchant the lucky audience of one.

resinous scent rising
incense of pine straw
and memory
Crossett with the Allen clan

early risers
yellow daffodils
on a late winters day
*** just as pebbles dropped into the ocean create concentric rings that move to other shores, may these pebbles of joy find you and give you a quiet moment of reflection and joy

under the big top
the audience hushes
performers await their cues
*** my darling husband and I went Cirque du Soleil under the big top last night. What a joyful and joy-filled evening! The fire dancer twirled, tumblers tumbled, acrobats spun and flew around the ring. A beautiful night.
