Life comes most sweet, in increments, jumbled
and mixed delicious. Constantly flowing in tidbits surprises:
Our conglomerations of unexpected encountered wonderfulness
―a walk on the beach,
The chatter of happy five-year olds on the playground
The changing leaves
“Oh! My! What a beautiful sunset!”
“Did you see the wonderful sunrise this morning?”
Conversations with the kids
Ol’ friends dropping by to say “Hello”
The cool breeze that invites itself onto your patio ― to keep
company, and playfully turn the pages of the novel your enjoying.
The sudden appearance of the sweet glass of lemonade
sips of affection in nurturing hands of “the love one”
who knows you better than you know yourself.
Suddenly a cardinal croons, a blue jay joins in, and sings the counter melody,
a woodpecker pecks the percussive beat,
the squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks enjoy their dinner-concert . . .
Suddenly, a jet, high in the sky, draws a straight white line on the clear blue sky . . .
A bald eagle glides in the distance . . . the thickening greenness on the tree branches,
and on the grass are more noticeable today . . .
. . . and the universe cuddles your soul, with added warmth
― in the hodge-podge continuation of pleasant surprises.
