A drop in the bucket

The word

It reveals the small quiet beautiful things
where before the flight blurred certain facets
it makes clear what once was beyond my vision
the shapes of dreams shift in its dawning
and its dawning is slow and continues
past each sunrise into the next revelation

It moves past my capacity to define it
bids me do nothing but let it live
within me and around me and for me
accept and give and remember
when other voices evoke shadows and demands not in it
or the aching part of me is loud and tyrannical
then I am to listen to its whispered imperatives
gently wrap myself in its miracle

Happy thinking back.

Beautiful miracle within which to wrap yourself. Beautiful whitter too : ) Happy Huggles

wow. ..this one really spoke to me. Although, I likely interpreted it all wrong and it means something totally different. 🙂

Gorgeous!

ryn..well, then, let me just say..that last stanza..do whitters have stanzas or is that just poems..?:) The last one sums up the bittersweet act of grieving that Was, yesterday..when I sat with Sarah on the couch and Remembered. Thanks ME!

to find such a thing and place would truly be a wondrous thing… I just dropped by to say goodbye, for now. I shall be back in about ten days.

The evocation of birds in flight. For me at least a whole flock was released here.
