Clouds bundle
shift and fold
cotton strata
Trees huddle
confidence in
community
Emotions stack
one on another
co-mingling hues
Beneath layers
an eternal glow
sun certainty.
(For Reena’s Xploration Challenge: layers. Image also represents the prompt – layers of photoshopping.)
Beautiful. This one just wants to be read aloud!

I appreciate that. My voice is not as strong as it used to be and depending on the day, sometimes absent.

You do your best for each new day. I’m learning that just to give your best, depending on the circumstance is more than good enough. You might not feel good one day as you did before but you can still do your best with how you feel and that is okay. Hope you can have a good week!

My father used to make us repeat, as kids: “Day by day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.” You too!

I love the image and the poem in equal measure! The last line of the poem in particular resonates with me as a metaphor for the hope that lies within.

Beautiful imagery lures my mind between the two posts out into the landscape beyond … maybe the rabbit will tag along? It’s foggy/drizzly here this morning (light similar to your image) … “sun certainty” so easy to discount, but always (to date!) a reality. Forecast confirms … sunny tomorrow.

Thanks Jazz. We have a rabbit warren in our backyard, and I have to say they delight me. We’ve found the sun today…after three days of snow….thank goodness.
