Tuesday Walk

Tuesday Walk

Before the morning heats the day

I wander along a familiar path

bordered by sleepy flowers

and gently nodding grass…

a family of wild pigeons

scurry across my path

to settle in the shade

as I pass…

the youngest one watches me

with what looks like curiosity

so I slow my pace so he

 can remember my face…

around the gentle curve of the bay

I make for ‘my’ flat rock

where small birds play

swooping over the placid water

then back to an overhanging tree

they perform graceful acrobatics

for whoever may pause to see…

pristine treasures at my feet

ocean breeze blows through my hair

I give thanks to Mother Earth

for these gifts she shares.
