Note: months since my word space felt the stirring to share;
and then there is a moment I desire to shout out;
words I know have a power

Winter words buried in silence,
Spring stirring inner reflections
evokes a shared exclamation.

This morning thunder clapped,
lightning appeared before
dawn skies arrived. 

I heard the dogwoods sigh 
as a downpour of rain 
quenched their thirst

Muggy noontime, sun awakens
Hanging pots of fuchsia,
waiting for hungering hummingbirds, 

An unexpected invitation 
To stop and see – what beauty
transforms in any given moment.

A portal opens, delights emerge,
Prompting my spirit to
Take in the good, 

Revel in the moment of
joy awakening.
Say aloud 

Here, hear,
Words to share
I want to lift you too.
