Micro Wonders

It's been a while since I posted a 'think'. So here's one, a beginning anyway. I wonder what you might add if you were to contribute a stanza? 
Fingers dipped in setting jam,
A mound scooped cup of pink guava,
The dizzy buzz of the Blue Banded Bee.
- If I could see the scope of my life
in tiny joys and micro wonders
what difference would it make?

The new flung sprouts of sweet-potato,
Hard pruned ficus coming back to life,
The golden striped wing against the dirt.
- These are the mini horizons 
catching my breath
teaching me all about undeserved awe.

Birdsong inthe  dusking rain,
Mudstained toes and tired smiles,
Peace on the shoulder of a whispered prayer.
- This is grace scattered wide,
unseen by masses
a life of breathless micro wonders.

    The Penny Drops

    ​In high school I used to write what I'd call 'thinks' - little bits of writing about whatever topic or issue I was mulling over at the time. I still write these little pieces.
    I also blog a little and offer reviews of books I consider worth reading. All of these - thinks, blogs, reviews - I gather here. They're the writing that happens when the 'penny drops', or it doesn't, and I sit down with pen (or laptop) in hand...
    I hope you enjoy them.
