sweet slumber
there is something oh
so calming about the soft
snoring of a dog
it is safety, and freedom
dreams of squirrels to be chased

My simple acrostic poem in answer to today’s daily WP prompt…my answer…kindness. I am dipping my toe back into the inkwell. I know it’s been a while. Suffice to say that planning and pulling off a surprise milestone party that you needed to know about because your lovely partner who planned the whole thing is wheelchair bound and generally unable to pull the final prep off without assistance, is exhausting! I said it a decade or so ago…getting old is not for sissies! I had NO clue back then…add to that the added stress of keeping the ruse and acting surprised…and the biggest part…the reality…the gravity of realizing that people my age are dropping like flies and the fact that I’m still here must mean something. Well I’ve spent long enough staring at my naval and I plan to get back on the saddle…though it takes a few tries and a stepladder these days. The muse has graciously let me recharge, and soak in every glimmer and wonder. I’ve saved them to share with you all. I do hope you’re doing well. It’s hard not to freak out at the state of the world ala a rapidly imploding trump. But there is encouragement to be found as the sleepy lemmings begin waking up from their stupor.
Be kind to yourself and to others my friends, and most importantly look for the daily glimmers to sustain you!
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you. Here’s mine for today. I have started noticing sunrises these days…new beginnings seems to be the theme. 🥰

just a glimmer…
More to come…had company over the weekend and a (surprise) birthday party yesterday with all my favorite people. And then yesterday morning, there was this little visitor….
More to come when the dust settles! Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

my religion (daily prompt)
Do you practice religion?
A religion is a structured system of beliefs, values, and practices concerning humanity's relationship to the spiritual, the supernatural, or a higher power. It typically provides a moral framework for living and answers questions about the purpose of life. ~AI
my religion
oh, to become one
with every subtle breeze
to gracefully sway
in step with bending trees
a cerulean
flickering canopy
shimmering, sun-kissed,
as an earthy sweetness
wafts from dewy peat
while some may believe
that faith is best practiced
behind rigid walls,
light filtered through stained glass
I beg to differ
for the north wind whispers
truth straight to my heart
and the warm, trembling loam
calls my wandering soul home

I have been on vacation, which means working morning to night doing some much needed late spring cleaning! Inside…outside…in between…everything is spiffy clean! 😅
I have been writing bits and pieces…and perhaps I shall finish a few of those un-uttered thoughts. But for now this question grabbed my attention yesterday and kept gnawing at me to finish it. So I paused my latest (and I admit, least favorite) task, folding laundry, to pour this piece out of my head and satisfy the muse for now.
Of course there have been glimmers this week…here are a few (a glimmer dump! 😊)
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Prompted
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
a dusting
one day
when i’m dust, may
they say
of me
“she was a kind
one, she…”
kindness
leaves hearts touched by
sweetness

Another Musette…they are harder to write than they may look! Consists of 3 stanzas/3 lines each/ syllable count each line: 2-4-2/rhyme scheme: aba cdc efe/title reflects the poems content.
Sometimes glimmers take me by surprise. For instance the golden patch of dead pine needles on an Eastern Red Cedar sapling. It caught my eye as I walked by. A simple reminder of death in the midst of spring’s greening splendor all around. How fragile and brief life is. How resilient that sapling is as it pushes green shoots toward the sky. How grateful I am to be here, to witness beautiful life (and death) all around me. I have witnessed nearly 70 Springs and counting. Life is a glimmering blink, isn’t it?
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you.
