Enchantment

Dragonfly

Alight on garden tripod

Daughter in sunlight

Garden moment

Stops time, brings

Stillness and a glow

Around everything

Iridescent wings

Spread to catch the

Breeze sparkles in light

Refracting

Unexpected nature

The cats brought something

Now it’s on your floor

To rescue

See up close

Touch what evades touch

Near things that stay far

A momentary gift

A practice for each morning

Wake and speak

Enchantment

Into being

You carry it too

This soft unexpected beauty

That stops time

Holding still holding

Breath

Observing silent and still

Caught in time’s backwater

Swirling motionless at its

Center

Until something breaks the spell

Time flows forward and

The moment passes

Leaving its

Sweetness

Like a dew upon your day

In this way you carry the seeds

Within you

So in an opportune moment

They can bloom forth
