Cool damp wood, bare feet, bay breeze, the aroma
of sea, mist meeting skin.
Tall
green pines, snowcapped mountains, blue water, whitecaps dancing.
Bunnies
peak from under the hedge, hopping, playing, chewing clover.
Each new morning a prayer in the familiar of
passing years.
Thank you
for this lovely day, a day that I will live with positive thoughts, joy and
happiness, gratitude and appreciation.
A fawn
and two babies amble by. I am here, in the now, peaceful.
And as
quickly I lose myself in the unknowns of tomorrow, the wonders of today
escaping at my own doing.
A low jangle from the far side of the deck. Closer now. Dog tags clanging against
each other. Pup approaching.
A furry face, sparkling eyes bringing me back. There’s today to live, inspiration to embrace, laughter for the spirit.
We sit
together, the rising sun touching with warmth, a small dog tender with trust.
And this
morning on the deck I celebrate the moment, the simple beauty, the love.
