It rained all day today.
In between the showers
thunder
and lightning
I ventured outside
to cut daffodils
from the hillside
in the forest
behind our house.

I placed them
in an antique canning jar
filled with cool clean water.
I marveled
at their beauty.
I breathed in
their faint but sweet fragrance.
I closed my eyes
and smiled.
