A Choice

Raindrops on the maple leaf, glitter Shining with hope, another day Simple gifts that come from nature Always seem to find a way… To renew inspiration with open eyes To gently help, make the moment clear In our minds, we can be free! From any negativity or fear Color hangs on some trees that last Through some blowing wind and rain The birds are singing happily Under gray skies with sweet refrain Slowly I walk, to the beat of a wind chime Grateful for everything around me Knowing every step of the way, Darkness is only a choice not to see! 10/24/20 *Entry for Completely your choice (32) poetry contest.
