This - and every blue iris ....


This - and every blue iris ...., originally uploaded by Sparky2*.

I have so, so much to be thankful for ... spring and the blue iris are definitely on my list.

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
