A Year of Days
2022
Begin
The promise of a bend in the path, set your steps assuredly into the light breathed softly between the boughs of your guardians.
Never deny a toddler’s love of the natural world, rivers and stones, throw and splash, ripples sent to a future yet to be discovered.
Follow the path yet barren from winter not yet born of spring ponder the wet decay, breathe, feel the warmth upon our backs we live.
I could not delight in you more nature’s levity, discovery upon bold blue a sluggish cavorting. We kick up our heels chasing your humor peering and peaking upon this path of wonder.
One last moment with you in your garden your life waning, time to go, yet you remain resilient for the memories forever to be found where grief wanders looking for her lost love.
What bliss is a summer day respite in shade beguiled by the humble activities of life a sweet serenade of bees, copper canopy of leaves holding space beneath the watchful puffs of cloud playful in the ever-hopeful expanse of clear blue.
Bounty of blue berries of summer let me share this with you for there will never be another moment like the first berry warm, just plucked, sweetly on the tongue.
Travel under the big sky upon the path formed by eons, rushing water careening boulders scraping a landscape bold and wild so suited to you.
Celebrate upon this mighty shore forty years we have spent together as tides sweep in and out across tectonic plates roughly balanced and bracing as are we forged forever.
Gather in a swirling mist sent ashore upon oceans wide and deep families meet together apart to return as sure as the tides and mist, our somber reflection of love.
Autumn scatters leaves to end our lazy summer contemplations chores for future stores begin watch with me learn with me ready the space that promises life again beyond the scattered leaves.
Leave this year cloaked in the mystery of her meaning even as she reflects upon her own path, wisely do the same to round the bend and find the promise of new horizons.
A reflection of the paths I have taken in 2022. Using photographs as a muse to take us through the year and look forward to the bounty, mystery, and promise of our path in 2023. Thank you to Move Me Poetry for the space over the year.
