a white egret at the marsh
Dusty Springfield
cool, foggy mornings
turkey vultures in the field
fairies blowing bubbles at the fair
the sun dancing on green leaves
glass marbles in a dish
pink dahlias
french vanilla coffee
and chocolate croissants
all that we can see
and all that we can’t
all that we can say
and all that we won’t
all that we can do
and all that we don’t
sometimes, i want to pare it down to nothing
glass jars filled with baby’s breath
a blue wire basket
yesterday’s mail
a golden mirror
coffee cup with warm coffee
car keys
a small plant
reading glasses
this book: State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
lemon verbena, sea salt and coconut candles
a little wooden house
and a small drawstring linen pouch
the rich, bursting, ripe colors of late summer flood the senses and gladden the heart
cracked pottery
chipping paint
broken china
mended quilts
dried flowers
abandoned things
weathered grave stones
a young buck and doe in a field
wild turkeys under green bushes
orchids and lush ferns
love, kindness and
torrential rainfall
