Notes About The Poem

The Small Joys Matter Most

Morning solitude is best
The once dark margin of the sea
is all at once, a sparkling pleasure
 
To hear the  sprightly magpies
as they wander over dewy grass 
warbling a wealth of sound 
the like of heaven 
 
Air so fresh it equals joy
and the jewel in the crown;
on the vacant lot beneath the sign -
a lily has bloomed.
