Not What It Seems

by

Veronica Jorge

Memories swirl in the air around my head.

Light flashes and flickers illuminating my thoughts.

Emotions spread a warm blanket over me and shield me

from the wind.

Joy dances around my feet.

Worries scurry away.

It seems I’m just raking leaves.

But I’m really counting my blessings, one by one.

See you next time on December 22nd!

    Lovely, Veronica. To bring out the positivity in the simple act of raking leaves and the countless blessings we often forget to count.
