2554


five periwinkles opened -
in pandemic lockdown days
a delight to count

inbreath -
counting blessings in between
exercise stretches

morning clouds shape
stretch of imagination -
to divine grace

The middle haiku sounds like the best of invitations. I think I will follow on the speaker's steps. Stretches and exercises will very likely be stronger while counting blessings.

I have been counting the spider lily blooms in the balcony on these days of lockdown. And I will count my blessings during my yoga session tomorrow

Happy Ascension Sunday, Gillena! Flowers are a joy to count...it is not so much of a joy to count lockdown days.
