Glimpses

we pull the car over photo op for a toddler a scintilla of snow moments like this a kiss from God ~ arms are open wide for a Vermont bouquet a spectacular display of poppies “honey, honey! stop the car!” i pose aunt and uncle then spouse and i ~ a poetry tree found on the side of the road (breathless) i needed to know what was its name taking photosnaps of its fine mimosa leaves and that is not all by any means for a honeysuckle scent picked me up sent me hurling back to childhood my wristband pulses throb with innocence unwrinkled in time sublime perfection of snippets momentary euphoria in flora that lifts me up by the nose gathers tulips into the mind’s vacuous space between the eyes ~ the autumn winds that caress my face make me blush prop me up in a high school stadium cheering with peers throwing confetti stomping feet ~ i adorn the quilt of God’s good favor wrapped around my shoulders we yearn for time travel past and future why don’t we realize grace has already complied?
