little wren chatters loudly
butterfly wings soar

april grass
lies brown and yellow
green pokes through

heel clicks on sidewalk
passing unseen bussing bees

After

“The Morning After the Storm” Oil painting by William Gibbons-1841
November’s harsh wind
ripped apart the country’s core
morning sounds – bells tollNature endures ebb and flow
daybreak comes, sunrise aglow-cj holm
Forgiven
Magical wishes
Whispered in a sinner’s plea
Hope salvation’s here
A last rite for paradise
Blessing those that see the light-Clarence Holm
