Poet’s Corner – Small Things
The morning shows a red cardinal
Shining among the many leaves.
Broad charcoal lines design a shape
Creating wings beneath a garden of colors.
Lavender soap cools my palms in a summer day’s heat.
Music resonates in whispers, harmonies and thunderous sounds
Echoing the numerous voices of migrating birds.
A tasteful repose awaits many gatherings
As fresh made cookies line themselves in many rows.
Look upwards at the bright crescent moon
As it touches Spica in the evening sky.
A sentence written in prose and poetry fills the pages
Gathering small things in the palm of our hands
The day’s reflections.
Poem, “Small Things,” and artwork, “This Much,” by Marsha Solomon
