Flower

Listen to the flowers
watch how they flare
touch their silkiness
taste the scent of wonder.
Leap into loving
with unabashed
exultation. Dance.

Every Day Astonishes Me

In a world riven with greed, hatred,
ignorance and fear, the moments that
enchant are the moments that uplift,
jewels of jubilance to treasure and
nurture. There you were on the other side
of the road as I ambled back from
the shops, merely going about your
daily business – stately, graceful, walking
with ease, at one with the world.
So enamoured was I by the felicity
of your presence, an urge to say “hello”
came over me, dazzled by the elegance
you exuded. My heart is still smiling
at the sweet serendipity of this meeting.
Every day astonishes me.

Signs everywhere
flowering with richness
radiant tokens

Footprints in the frost
speak of fire and flint and glint –
all is not lost
