rain soaks cold branches
red maple stripped bare of leaves
autumn’s fire quenched
watering new grass…

pair of turtledoves
coo-cooing from tree and roof
to welcome us home
algae in birdbath
orange oriole takes sips
disturbed reflection
sing praise at day’s end
robins echo each other
my heart joins chorus
heartland

On this 1st anniversary of the Dobbs case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, we remember the souls who’ve suffered abortion, both mothers and babies. Every little human life shines, however brief!
