On the Mountainside

Bachelor buttons blooming along a peaceful mountainside road.

I reach out to touch one as my husband brings our car to a stop.

Sad memories of yesterday still collide in my heart and mind;

they colour today a shade of grey.

But there, on this rural road, above the valley floor

I find a bit of blue in this small, fragile flower's petals and for a moment

I smile.

Blessings this Saturday morn.
