They were so fresh, Lord!
The 4th of October it was
– and yet they were so clean,
pure, whole and intact…
No tarnish, rust or frayed edges
– just a springtime of blossoms,
anemones in autumn,
waiting there to call my name
and greet me on my way…
And so it was, Lord,
you took me by surprise
in the simplest of ways:
filling me with joy
unexpected, undeserved,
inexplicably refreshing
though so absolutely welcome
and received…
Thank you, Lord,
thank you, thank you,
thank you…
