solace

morning and evening
oriole names the sky
from the bare branches
of the rhus that stands tall
beyond the vegetable beds

there is no knowing
any more than this
this day
this sky
this moment.

    Such a beautiful moment. I know this feeling well, and you have captured it to perfection here.

    There is no knowing but, the present moment. You have captured this feeling wonderfully.

    It is wonderful the moments of pure presence that are emerging now when we open to perceive them. Your poem works as a kind of opening or portal into that awareness. Thank you.

      I think it was a wonderful prompt. The poems that have come of it are such balm. So many beautiful moments of connection and reminders to connect. So lovely reading through all of them last night.

        Yes, the prompts are great. I find them very stimulating too.

    You describe beautifully that moment of connection with nature. I wish we could experience those moments more and more.
