Inspiral Daze

I stop long enough

to know that a single breath

can change today’s view.

Elegantly bowed,

last day before petals fall:

Real life can’t be stopped.

Housebound by the rain,

even the ordinary

starts to draw me in.

Unfurling gently,

magnolia embraces

early morning rain.

Morning sun filtered through

birdsong and frosted air  -

April starts with grace.
