Aloft feels so good.
That’s where my spirit soars,
above the horizon, beyond the blue.

And yet...

some days I am perched,
unable to find my beloved breeze
as these knees fall
too close to the ground and

I beg my God, to please...

gift me with stronger wings,
let me stay aloft where the air is free.

I made the mistake of turning on the TV.
Finding no clean air to breathe,
and no images of strength and beauty combined
(I’m not the pageantry kind)
I finally remembered the vibrant fall flowers
I bought only two days ago that begged to be
anchored down before the next chill.

And my spirit suddenly soared
as I headed for the front door
to carefully plant the living colors
that shall welcome my seasonal fall.

Kacy?

I adore this, I always feel better in my garden . . .

and here, OMG I KNOW:  

I made the mistake of turning on the TV.
Finding no clean air to breathe,

There isn't quite like planting something, anything, to keep your spirits up.  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
