At Dusk by my Table opus 78

21 January 2023 1700 Hours Memories, Ornithology
Sitting at dusk by my table,
Watching White-crowned Sparrows on the outside feeder.
Bundles of narcissus--all colors clumped together.
A carving of an abstract eagle,
Carved in Norway with my travelling two year old son.
A CD sent from Sweden--one of Ingegerd's daughter's singing.
An Asian Elephant statue in gold--at least the color--
Acquired at a flea market, accompanied by my lovely dog, Sophia.
A hand carved stone petroglyph of Kokopelli,
Created in Colorado, in October 1999,
While attending a Land Trust Alliance Rally
With snow flurries surrounding us all.

I have been to so many places and seen so much.
Comforting thoughts of my past, just sitting next to me.
