#Quadrille: Simple Joys
“…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
― Vincent Willem van Gogh
Although there’s not much to celebrate
with what’s happening these days
we can always find joy in nature’s scenes
Two yellow butterflies at play
Tiny hummingbirds darting about
Iridescent wings gleaming in bright sun and
Painted sky at dusk when each day is done
