I BLOOMED TODAY

I bloomed today. I bloomed through  grey skies, with parted lips I savored the rain. Still I bloomed.

PASSING THROUGH

Sometimes, morning comes shrouded with mist of a million dew drops falling heavy upon the wings that only wish to fly. . Then there are those mornings when the sun shines golden bathing the world in jewel tones spraying stars on the ground to greet the unhurried steps. Who’s to say what a new day
