Miracle in blue

It doesn*t matter if anyone else names this a miracle.  It is small... yes.  Even tiny.  I name it a miracle.  God has gladdened my heart.  I am grateful.

Yesterday I saw the duck lady

Out back.

She wore denim

Blue yes blue

As she spread corn.

The ducks waited

Not so patiently

But the lady

She wore blue yesterday.

I had not seen her this winter.

Maybe she only wears red

Against the snow,

Like the cardinal against the pure white snow

Black branches

Posed for a picture of Christmas.

But the lady…

Back to the lady:

She wore blue.

I named the possibility

Of blue

Last week.

It is a small thing

A tiny thing

I know many wear denim jackets.

Perhaps I have seen her before

Without note

Wearing blue.

Perhaps.

Still

Yesterday the lady in red

Wore blue.

I saw her.

Yesterday she was a miracle

In blue.
