poetry

Spark

Last night’s party left a glass on the windowsill.
This morning, ice melted, it catches the sun -
a glint, a flare, a fire in the water,
a transient fraction of a star, visiting,
a scrap of halo for a sacred instant.

  1. A beautiful image in words. Such wonder to be found in simple everyday things that most of us would ignore.

  2. Yes, what Arlee said. And that must have been some party...
