My thoughts were full of words and pictures this morning, and I quickly wrote them down before they fell out of my brain into oblivion. Another gift of a Thursday; it was just Monday!
So here’s some thoughts on life for a Thursday morning.
Life
Life
scurries by
May falls into
September
mornings into night
again and again
Clouds drift by
and disappear in a
vapour.
Do clouds have an
expiry date?
I stared at the sunflower
I had planted
one cold spring morning
A seed among many
But she survived
and grew, tall
Her yellow crown as big
as a plate
I talked to her
each night as I
watered the parched ground
and she was just there
part of my landscape
colouring it with
beauty and grace.
I reminded myself to
savour
to hold this moment
to drink in
her beauty..
But I forgot to capture
the moment with my camera
And yesterday
she drooped
her head bowed
and soon I know
where she once stood
will only be a memory
in my mind.
Teach us to savour our days
O God
Our yesterdays pile up
And eternity seems closer
That great unknown
when time as we know it
will be
no more.

August sunflowers in my garden
