Dewdrops
Twinkle
Like stars
Resting
Among
Green
Pine needles
Playing tricks
On my eyes
Now you
See us
Now you
Don’t
A simple game
Of hide-n-seek
The same way
Children
Play outside
‘Til the sun
Disappears
And the wind
Carries them
Home to rest
Dreaming of
Their next visit
To the Loblollies
Sitting outside one morning after a rain, I noticed little bright spots in the trees. One would shine and then disappear just as another came into view.
My eyes went back and forth between the trees for several minutes. Each glimmer made me smile.
Joy in the simple things. And how much fun is it to say Loblolly? 😉

The simple beauty of nature always creates happiness within … noticing the small delicate beauties that surround us are both soothing and delightful ..

This is simply beautiful, Kelley! Yes, it’s the simple things in life. Nature never disappoints. I’m taking a heavenly two week hiatus to go and meet a new granddaughter born in Alaska. I’m sending prayers for your school days! Stay safe and blessed. Karla
