Quadrille Monday at dVerse Poets Pub.

In response to Lillian at dVerse Poets Pub | Quadrille about “bloom” : https://wp.me/p1GTyJ-92i

After the Quiet

Not all bloom arrives in spring.
Some begins in silence, after everything expected
has already fallen away.
I have learned to wait for it—
that quiet turning,
that unseen gathering of strength
until something within me opens without asking permission
to become.

    And it’s (almost always) worth the wait… Definitely worth it in this case. Beautifully crafted. Thanks.

    Love where those blooms came from… we should always look for them when it’s less abundant
