To Catch a Sunbeam

  Now is when you catch a sunbeam and put it in the pocket of your cut-offs, storing it for a rainy day. Then, you can cup it cool on tear-stained palms and release it into the wild, unleashing freckled sunshine into the madness of a world at war with light.

of a world at war with light.

        You are most welcome … love your ability to tell a story within a poetry. It is middle of winter over here in New Zealand -:)!

        Take Care,
        Daniela

        I forgot you were out there. I always remember the Croatia connection, and then forget you moved. 😦 How is the winter, then?

        Cold, went, windy! Hopefully not for much longer … here is hoping. And yes, there is high summer in Croatia right now!

      Thanks! It’s a martagon lily called ‘Cadense’, rather a lovely name.
