I am so delighted to share my new poem with you.

I worked on ” A Fragile Thing,” most of the day yesterday.

Listen to the VOICE RECORDING.

A Fragile Thing

By Lynda McKinney Lambert

Before daylight

lone black crow lands on swaying tree tops

high above rushing waters of the creek

crow’s voice hollers out

sharp staccato jabs, high-pitched notes

mingled with swift moving water

Canadian geese

build nests on flat rocks

beside a torrent of white-water

near Rhododendron bushes

super stars, each of them

magnificent blooming wall of flowers
before dawn this morning

Life happens slowly

like growth of lavender-pink

Rhododendron blossoms

smallest details

hundreds of them

wide open

everything in sync

a fragile thing.
