NaPoWriMo Day Five

Today was really a primo day in April. I did an important errand in the morning, came home and sat in the front yard to paint briefly. Sometimes you just have to remember that generations of painters and writers have tried and will try to describe days like this.

There’s not enough yellow
for the day today –
the daffodils and their
impossible green waving
in the late-afternoon.
From here the glow might
be the sun or
the nodding waves of april
praying over curly daylilies
rising up from winter.

be in the moment
be one with the daffodils
be one with sunlight

And THIS amazing postcard was in my mailbox this morning.
