Change

This Holly Plant lives just outside my door.

A season in turmoil. The circle gets smaller. Loved ones pass on leaving us behind to sort out the ravages of being. Such loss is soothed only by a long spring. But wounds remain so, as we find a way to live with them.

we are left standing

as december roars on through

this season of life

a little more worn, rumpled

but for this, we are grateful

with the lilt

of a butterfly

fulfilling the arc of life –

chasing immortality

Flower of the Day FOTD

A leaf for Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge. I think it’s called Dusty Miller. Very velvety to the touch and seem to strive this time of year.

Yeah! I looked it up, I can’t believe I remembered the name😊!!
