I awakened to clouds
Hindering the sunshine
From lifting my spirits
As I approached the new day.
Stretching,
I sipped morning tea
In my quiet place
Saying nothing.
I heard only
The soft restful breaths
From my pup
Who snuggled close to me
And feared nothing.
I found my heart
And soul awakening finally
Then a bit of morning light
Caught my eye
As a bird called out
To her hungry wee ones.
A duet of fluttering wings
Met fluttering leaves
And the last of the raindrops
Rippled on the ground.
There is always beauty to be found.
New days meet new opportunities.
To find, we must
Seek, smile, and give thanks!
I did.
