Blessing

  Life is but crepe, a tissue-paper dream, A blossom-born hour, a breath to redeem; So bloom while the sun shines on petals of glass, And call Today blessing, before it is past.

Life is but crepe, a tissue-paper dream,

A blossom-born hour, a breath to redeem;

So bloom while the sun shines on petals of glass,

And call Today blessing, before it is past.

    I am wired to see the glass as “half-full,” but sometimes I drift from my purpose and perspective. Thank you for the nudge to get back on track.

      There are times when even our half-full vision gets swamped – life is just like that, isn’t it? It helps to remember that it is not a permanent shift, but a glitch, and that we can get ‘back on track’ again! Thanks Tina!

    Oh Mel! This is 5-Star and now tops anything you’ve done (that I can remember)–I LOVE it. To list my faves would be to copy every word and line–I simply LOVE it, sincerely.

      Thank you, so much. I love your words so much that it honours me to have you enjoy my offerings. 🙂 *sigh of contentment*

    Paper flowers. So transient. To be enjoyed while they are there. Like life.

      More transient than we think – our small community lost yet another young man this weekend – under tragic circumstances. As you say, to be enjoyed while they are there – a mini life lesson wrapped in a beautiful bow…
