In This Precious Moment

In the bigness, muchness, fullness

of this precious moment

Water trickles gently in the moonlit pool –

a gentle cleansing.

Sky at dusk pulsing with colour

almost beyond imagination.

Raspberries grow lush, bending their canes –

an abundance despite days of continuous cloud and rain.

Train whistle muted by night-time air

sings a prairie lullaby.

A palpable nuanced shift.

From brittle anxiety to pregnant expectancy.

Whispers of magnificent splendor

Emerging in its time.
