in the simple life I live, some days that is
i explore and look around
last week they caught my eye
and this is what i found..
small enough
to nestle in a flower
and sit contently for hours
maybe it was peering eyes of the intruder
that gave reason for hesitation
to leave it’s place of safety
on the high place
of a hollyhock plant…
r gould
carefree
and
joyful
at 20 something
simple fun
planned
perhaps
right
idea
for this pretty place
of color
simple pleasures
that so easily come
digging in the earth
the feeling of dirt
on my hands…
I do not take it lightly
what my body can do
for with aging, my bones
feel not, exactly new…
but as long as I see beauty
in the simplicity of my day
it will keep my outlook healthy
to handle what comes my way..
