one more bright sunday
all night in bed with the moon
joy strewn all around
but the mind always
wants more than it has-
one more bright day of sun,
one more clear night in bed
with the moon; one more hour
to get the words right; one
more chance for the heart in hiding
to emerge from its thicket
in dried grasses-as if this quiet day
with its tentative light weren't enough,
as if joy weren't strewn all around"
holly hughes
welcome home to
where the sun and moon are willing to circle you
in the light and love of small precious words.

We are always wishing for one more something, yes? One more "beautiful" anything, as your wishes are, make this world a better place. Have a one-more-wish-come-true day, Rebeca!

It's something I would love to do right now, except that it's midday here.

What a gorgeous poem and photo you've shared, as well as your bright shining heart dear Rebecca. It is 2 degrees and the sun is shining bright here in NH this morning as I celebrate 7 years of blogging:-)

Think I'll go back to bed to marinate in the JOY from there. :-)
LOVE

emeralds, sapphires and diamonds hiding in the thicket...
hi dear rebecca,
i hope you don't mind me sharing my post,
they aren't perfect haiku,
but i was thinking of you
and the others
as i wrote them...little poems nonetheless.
i am trying to be a more diligent blogger,
i have missed it.
{and you}
coming here always
always
makes sense.
love to you ♥ ♥ ♥

I love that you really do spread joy around! Joy is the word I picked for this year. Just thinking 'joy' does help me to be joyful most of the time.
