Sudden Beauty

You're carrying a load of laundry
down the hall
you round the corner 
and there!
whoah!
on the windowsill:


You stop
you freeze
you are struck dumb


It's too much
this sudden beauty
on laundry day

*

Sometimes I think 
I should never write another word
because words pale
in comparison
to 
so much else.

    Who was the culprit of this 'dastardly surprise'? Hubby?

  11. You've shared the gift of your unexpected moment of beauty in the midst of daily life...a reminder too that those gifts are waiting for us if we are open to them....So, I know what you mean, but i do hope you will keep, as a 2nd grader I know says, "using your words"!
