morning. and noon.

peace.

has permeated the day.

*

coffee and blueberry waffles.

drizzled with clove honey.

in the morning dew.

*

the gentle gathering.

of mint.

and lemon.

for fresh iced tea.

*

a warm afternoon.

on the shady porch.

with.

a cold mason jar.

of the finished brew.

and a new.

mary oliver volume.

*

her work.

resonates deeply with me.

*

often.

it feels like her poems.

were written.

especially.

to speak.

to my soul.
