Browsing life’s sketches

With another day

Searching for patterns

Something waits to say

Framing every word

With another thought

Discovering joy

Something ties each knot

Tasting sweet moments

With another page

Blending heartfelt dreams

Something comes of age

Leaving nest empty

With another flight

Seeking novel themes

Something waits to write

Plotting new sketches

With another scene

Finding new patterns

Something stirs, unseen

Every morning I take a few quick minutes to complete a mini crossword puzzle.  The short journey helps to focus the mind on my next task.  Of course, my thoughts may be pulling together a theme for a new writing sketch as a poem or short story.
