A moment (of gracious clarity)

A Moment
•
a clearing
of filtered sunlight
high breezes whisper
nature murmurs
serenely
a downed Douglas slumbers
snug in the moist embrace
of a moss blanket
a heady pleasance
life is aligned
for a moment

Grateful for those (rare) times when it all just seems to fall into place.

We all have certain ‘crystalised’ memories. Yours was certainly a very moving one, beautifully expressed.

Rob,
I really like this very simple yet eloquent piece…and especially the image: ‘a downed Douglas slumbers snug in the moist embrace of a moss blanket’; Great choice of words! Jan
