Loviest of "flowers" (1),
the water lily opens -
      a minor sunrise.(2)

(1) OK- channeling A E Housman, "Loviest of trees the cherry now
is hung with bloom along the bough...". You have to squish "flowers" into one syllable - "fluwrs". If you are not good with that you could do "Love-lest flower, the water lily......". I like the first but I'm good with either.
(2) Chanelling Loren Eisley's admonition - "In the coming darkness, look for a minor sun." (My paraphrase, I don't have the book here with me.) He was watching a spider spin a web in a streetlight one early winter night.

And a nice start for a new month! 

Big brown eye searches,

long ears twitch, pink nose quivers -

         bunny on the prowl! 

Into the window,

onto the restless sleeper -

          full moon on the prowl! 

Cheeseburger and chips,

beans, coleslaw, watermelon -

        community meal.

 

at St Paul's Church. 

Green leaves fluttering

against a calm clear blue sky -

         a colorful world.

 

Not to mention varicolored birds, flowers, butterflies....and people!

Temperature dropping,

Monday night fog rolling in -

        No moon's gaze tonight.

 

Again "tem-pra-ture"! 

Compassion -

As I wait for my new glasses

(with pumped up prescription)

I feel for Leah and her "weak eyes"

(and for this family which is getting off  to a difficult start).

I am grateful for the ocular artists who are making "fun eyes" - cat eyes, sunflower eyes, star burst eyes - for people with prosthetic eyes.

I pray that I might find the fun in my various limitations, disabilities, and difficulties.
