In Plain Sight

In the work world, 

where there was joy and angst,

smiles and frowns

hurry up and slow down

fodder for writing was abundant

In this retirement world,

there is a new responsibility ~

to look around ~

at home and in the outside world

for where the fodder is hiding

in plain sight to eyes and ears. 

Connection to my soul strengthens? 

Colours, sounds and shapes ~

a humming mirage of abundant hiding places 

in plain sight and sound.

“It’s not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking 

about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.”

~ Evan Davis
