Honored to Pause

Morning light slipped onto the sill.
Rays arriving with the dawn rarely reach this niche of glass,
rarely attract notice.
Dispersed refractions glimmer among the prisms; 
brilliance within a microcosm, serendipitous and transient.
Honored to pause, 
witnessing the gift ...
acknowledging too,
the multitude of random wonders that flourish unseen.

May you witness the gifts,
Lisa 

Turn to the Light

In early spring

living things turn into the light.

Stems, branches, and vines 

reach for the sun’s rays.

Blooms and leaves too,

bend in that direction.

Felines search out sills 

most drenched with brilliance.

Turtles sun along the banks of brightly lit shores.

We humans 

lift our faces for that longed for warmth.

And the Christian heart...

turns toward the brilliance of the risen Lord on Easter Sunday.

Fervent for Holy hope.

Rejoicing in the eternal gift.
