Listening to every heart

Collecting

the quietness of the sounds colliding
within
lead me to my awake, bring me to the
cat’s stretch,
in moments, sheets back, limbs overboard
and body leading mind
I find myself
collecting

where the sun is searching the dew
to alight and bring a fairy
her warmth

the golden orb lifting, exploring the
novel of the day, “what to see!”

wind, on the turnaround, bringing
quiet song and lifting birds’ calls

to cotton, shooshing music gently
through leaves of supple silk,

freshets of thought stumbling, rushing
to bring the snow’s liquid to a green
valley’s delight

collecting on its way,
diamonds

as easily picked to be examined and
admired by only those
who know

that in my paper-bag-knapsack of
childhood recollections, among
the feathers and rocks,
strings and papers,
leaves and
twigs

morning

is always the best time of day to begin
collecting….

This is so wonderful.  I love this form you're using...the way your collections scatter down the page, a lovely array.  My favorite is the sun's liquid ....valley's green, what a lovely way to say it.

Morning is a great time of day.  Everything newly awakening to a fresh day.  I felt like I was watching it happen as I read.  Hope that's ok!

by the grace of God.
