Mist hovers in the hollows,
Rain-sated green
Dancing in shimmering pools,
Hungrily greeting day,
Robins sing,
Ruffled and puffed,
Waking morning
With a hearty, Cheerio!
Mercy’s rain soaks deep
Nurturing earth in love,
A moment’s grace
Amid the din of life,
Time and space
To seek the extraordinary,
Beauty often overlooked,
Faith’s tender blossom
Unfurling one tiny petal at a time,
Joy streaming in at edge of day
Drenching my soul in
Light.

My favorite comment EVER!! “I wanted to keep reading, but ran out of words.” What a blessing to be married to you!
I always love the things that stream in at the edges. That was the image that stayed with me here

Cindee,
Thank you for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment.
It’s terribly hard contemplating missing my sister the rest of my life… be it a day or 60 more years.
You know the missing journey much more than I do…
Thank you for telling me about your brother, it was comforting.
Gratefully, Emily Murphy
