early yesterday morning
sitting on an old wooden bench
by the river bank at Kirkstall Abbey
feeling the water of compassion
flowing
everywhereAnd
all around
nature’s awakening
from
winters of deep sleep
Thank you, dear reader, in Leeds Yorkshire.
Share-a-Merit Bench
A wonderful picture and poem. The last line with the plural “winters” opens up a whole dimension beyond the worldly experience, while staying in the world
