things that won’t make the news today:
the low-growing thrush covered in clusters of flowers,
the lavender-spiked grasses, overlooking like towers
things that had nothing at all to say:
the wind that teased at the water’s surface for hours
and the soft, cool clattering of this afternoon’s showers
things that didn’t alert or trend:
zebra-striped fish jumping, startling dragonflies above
brush wrapped around the shore like a mother’s love
stories that too few recommend:
the journey of the sun from one end of the sky to the other
how the pines look to palmettos and call them brother

Inspiring and much to soak up in your capture. Thanks for bringing to mind that “Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes …..”Elizabeth Barrett Browning
