Free

 Free

What does

It mean

Somebody 

Gave their 

Life

In defense 

Of you and me

Thank you 

True countenance

 Wandering the back roads

Down gravel roads 

Off beaten paths

I find life

At its best

Delighted

By what

I didn’t expect 

That took my breath

And left my face

With a smile

I didn’t fake

Peonies

 Peonies

And picnics

Wine and cheese

I’m ready 

For you

This weekend

Blessing

Grateful 

Is a mindset

A choice

I’m making 

In this moment

Each day

Is a blessing

I often abuse

Round

 Twirling me round

As I lose myself

In summers’embrace

Hummingbird

 Drenched

In morning glory

As the hummingbirds

Sing accapella

Yard

 Sunning

In the heat

That bakes

The clover

In the yard
