I awoke this morning to an ordinary day
the sun peeking through the blinds where
last night’s moonlight lulled me into sleep
the clock that sits on the nightstand
day after day a reminder of the
gift of time, space and life
I ponder slipping into another dream
but, the day calls with a to-do-list
of everyday things, watering the plants
picking up groceries and returning a
book to the library…nothing spectacular
going on or is there?
even ordinary thing can bring surprises
like the red cardinal that sits on the
roof of my white car…singing a song
in the sweltering heat under a blue
sky and I’m grateful to be alive….
