Waking



















Photo: (c) Jamie K. Reaser


I awaken, the fingertips of the gods
wiping sweat from my brow.
What day is this?
What shall I commit my heart to?
What will I invite to humble me?

A bare foot settles on the old wood flooring.
It is followed by another.

This is how it begins.

Wonderment,
and stride.

  1. Jamie, your appreciation of small wonders -- and your spare use of words to convey it -- continues to move me.
