a morning like this

arqios

 

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🙏🏻🕊️

          Treasures found in what a day brings. Tell me more, is there a deeper meaning behind the obvious.
