Each day
holds small blessings
quietly disguised as:
Lobed Cardinal Flowers;
soft-petaled,
intensely scarlet,
thriving within
summer's deep shade.
Towering Horsetails;
rigid, ribbed straws
firmly sheathed
and stacked
in storeys.
Dangling Jewelweed;
an orange ornament,
an invitation funneling
into suspended
secret chambers.
Supple Jewelweed;
Supple Jewelweed;
droplets of orange,
tiny trumpets of nectar
inviting bees
and hummingbirds.
tiny trumpets of nectar
inviting bees
and hummingbirds.
I have a feeling that you
have reflected on these thoughts
yourself,
held, perhaps, within the deep, quiet
shade of your heart.
