a female cardinal with mate grasped the garden fence long enough to rob me of sound and breath. frozen I cherished the seconds until their startled egress and then returned to my journal as my wife closed the gate. |

I am still "robbed of sound and breath/frozen" in the ecstasy of the moment, and don't want to "return to my journal". I know this moment often in my indigenous forest garden, but knowing it, enhances the ecstasy. Thank you for sparkling dewdrop. - Owl |

Great moments and comparisons often lead to good inspire. Glad you shared as I enjoyed being able to recall some of these myself as I read. |

thanks for the comments everyone. I thought there was a certain irony how we are awed by life in nature but don't give enough attention to our loved ones. |

Yes, I see that in your poem now - and you are so right! I learnt something new. Thank you. - Owl |
