A morning like this
asks for a slow wander,
whatever the street forgets
pockets open to ponder:
A bolt, a feather,
a bit of wire
bent by weather —
each one a quiet suggestion.
By midday the table
gathers its small findings,
and a shape begins to form,
unplanned, but allowed.

This reminds me of a person I knew that would gather bits and pieces that they formed into artwork. It also is a metaphor for me of those things we gather along the day that becomes our psychological, metaphysical, formation of each day. Lovely Cryptic
Yes and yes! I was that person as a child and after that began gathering all sorts of influences and connections as the days roll by🙏🏻🕊️
Now you gather words
And white hair 😂
Treasures found in what a day brings. Tell me more, is there a deeper meaning behind the obvious.
Ah, that would be a worthwhile jaunt. We shall see where it takes us🙏🏻🕊️
good write enjoyed
Thanks, Norman. Most appreciated dear friend 🙏🏻🕊️

A fine write A.
Thanks O, fine is a really nice word🙏🏻🕊️
Good write, arqios. I enjoyed the read.
Thanks, Jerry! Glad it was enjoyable 🙏🏻🕊️
The things that make up everyday life. Well said.
Many thanks, Kevin. Trying to pay attention to everyday life; it can be easy to forget at times. 🙏🕊️
arqios, this carries that gentle act of gathering…not just objects, but moments and attention. The way those small, forgotten things slowly become a shape feels honest and unforced. It’s calm, reflective, and quietly meaningful. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Most thankful, Tittu 🕊️🙏🏻
So much can be gathered each day of our lives Rik.
Andy
And so much that we can make of these gatherings. Thanks, Soren 🕊️🙏
Rik
wow- smallest things fuel your imagination and the verses spout out - great !
I do hope that is enough fuel! Thanks so much Safina 🕊️🙏
Much more than I have for sure. And it is enough 👏👍👌💐
🙏🏻🕊️
It is amazing what you can pick up on a early morning stroll.
This is why you need a keen eye on a wander.
Mind you, now that fuel's dissappearing, we'll all be wandering to work in the morning.
Perhaps the roses shall start popping up again 🤗🙏🕊️
Vivid in imagery and poetic style. Enjoyed very much.
Thank you so much, dear friend 🙏🕊️
Wishing many more such serene and peaceful moments and mornings 👍
Indeed, may they come in endless supply, thanks 🙏🕊️
It’s noon here in Mumbai but it’s quiet and relaxed now too😊so let them pour in whatever the time
