Early springtime
winter holding on
squeezing us tightly, nightly
sunup showing a light white blanket
glistening with sparkles in the morning sun
frosted, our cake
winter holding on
squeezing us tightly, nightly
sunup showing a light white blanket
glistening with sparkles in the morning sun
frosted, our cake
Scarce known
our cake is what we walk on
blindly calling it ‘dirt’
but what a glorious cake it is!
Teaming with life
unseen to the naked eye
a billion microbes per teaspoonfull
are living under our feet!
Magic and mystery live there
hidden from the millenia
just now being discovered
revealed
Concomitantly we are learning
microbes in our inner selves
enable us to live
in balance, we do well
unbalanced, we hurt
digestion depends on them
microbes in our inner selves
enable us to live
in balance, we do well
unbalanced, we hurt
digestion depends on them
How often what we see
is but the frosting on the cake!
Awaiting our discovery
they’re there all the time
Created, stretching our minds
at the complexity of it all
yet knowing, our all
is often so limited, so small
Frost
Soil
Open Creations doors and windows
Breathe in the smell of spring awakening
Listen to and savor the robin’s commentary
Reflect
on the wonder of it all!
