Day of Blooms Opening

My day opened with a light 

mist falling, keeping us 

from our morning walk, 

so we found our cozy, 

each in a comfy chair, 

reading. We had a late 

breakfast, cinnamon toast 

lightly buttered, and then 

we had time for a second 

cup of coffee. You left 

for work, and I sought 

solace in my journal, 

traipsed through words, 

rolled over my emotions. 

A good start. But then 

I had so much more

given to me after going 

to the office, unexpected 

gifts came like joy blossoming, 

and tonight I find I am sated 

by the kindness of friends 

as I sit in my comfy

chair reading back over 

the pages of my day 

of blooms opening.
