Thankful Pause





Thankful Pause


I am thankful for the time 

for the freedom 

for the gift 

to enjoy the natural beauty 

just a few miles from home, 

a place the dog can roam, 

and I can walk beside 

the butterflies, 

barn swallows,  

and marsh wrens 

flying above and through 

the bulrushes 

now growing anew 

among the old 

along the lake 

in their own time 

among our chaos 

giving us our time 

our place 

to pause 

in thanks 

for earth’s beauty; 

a landscape 

to emulate 

in literal and metaphoric ways 

in our daily lives 

wherever we may be 

and whatever we do.
