The Wave of a Magic Fan

I caught a glimpse of a sunrise.
Pale magenta cast by the sun on gray skies
The cool air of early morn seemed to be my prize.
The creamy white blossoms on moon flower did apprise.

I did not want to go back inside.
Chores faced me there besides.
Life should be more appealing.
Like seeing the small things in life come alive

The kitchen needed some cleaning.
Breakfast needed my hand.
If only it could be handled by screening
Or by the wave of a magic fan

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/13/2023 8:49:00 PM Yes, the wave of a magic fan, akin to the wrinkle of a bewitched nose, giving the kitchen the back of your hand!

Today i saw the sunrise too, usually love sunsets but sunrise too is stunning. How it reflects on the sea. Appreciating little things before we get on with other things, sometimes can make our day.
