25 words: Stare and Wonder



Hungry morning.
I look out my window yearning.
I see a sky offering food for my soul.
I stare. I wonder.

How did it know?

    Wow!

    Powerful little poem.

    I feel the same way
    when I look out my window
    and see the water
    constantly changing color

    as a parade of boats passes by
    I hear a lone seagull cry
    and my heart answers

    Food for the soul. A wonderful thought! Blue Popsicles? Cotton Candy and Lemon Drops? What a great way to start your day!

    sky and i
    same sigh
    sometimes a cry

    wondering why we are so far apart

    Gregory,
    You're not as far as you're thinking.
    Listen harder while you're looking.
