I'm taking time, again,
to examine small moments.
Appreciating the fragments
that comprise a fulfilling day.
Bluebirds in the background,
sharing their liquid song
as I weed the perennial garden
below their conversation.
These isolated streaks
of high cirrus clouds
becoming white feathers
brushing the morning sky.
A sudden burst of wind
that releases and carries
a mass of autumn leaves
tumbling and turning with gravity.
Taking time again, to recall
memory's precious treasures.
All those yesterdays giving birth to today
with confident hope for tomorrow.
