There is a poem on my windowsill.
A treasure found, unfolding grace,
a cup full of fruition.
And love.
I see the caramel-colored agate I found
glowing on a beach in Bellingham,
and the tomatoes nurtured
and ripened on our back deck.
The rose blossoms were picked dew-laden
from our front garden this morning
and placed in the vase I bought for myself
in a rare “impractical” purchase
just because it made me happy
to imagine filling it with future buds.
And there are the ruby-red vases
trimmed in gold that my beloved Aunt Junie
gave me before she left this world
and that I will pass on with love
when that time comes.
A poem lives on my windowsill.

Lovely poem! I feel the same way about my windowsill …
I’ve always known you were a kindred spirit! Thanks, Kathi! 🙂
