Songs in the quiet places,
the in-between spaces,
where the drone of bees
competes with the breeze,
and a cool patch of shade
beside a clover-scented glade
has the melody I seek
as I contemplate a work week.

Notes: I got the job, and I’ll be returning to full-time employment in less than two weeks. I’ll still post here, as I have time. Many blessings on the happenings in your life, large and small.

I’m still hoping to post twice a week. I can write them on the weekend and schedule them, perhaps. I’ll have to see how much energy I have. Thanks for your kind words.
