Bike Ride Blessing

I want to stop,
gather my thoughts.

A deer and her fawn
ran across the path
so close
I swerved to miss them.

An ordinary day
suddenly goes soft.
All that was wrong
is lost.

Moments like this
can't be bought.

  1. Aw, lovely - all that is wrong is lost. What a lovely way to lose track of grievance.

  2. You captured a lovely moment, one that came at a good time for this reader.

    I love those lines Tanita Davis pointed out above, and also the ones right before it:
    An ordinary day
    suddenly goes soft.

    What a terrific way of describing how a moment like that opens up a heart hardened by the rush of the day.
