​Because Grace is Often the Small Thing, by Sarah Scott

A Woodland Walk, by Diana Ferguson (USA) 2020

​

​Because Grace is Often the Small Thing

in a pause before kneeling
Woman yielded to warm red throbbing
nested in her hand
yielded to a never forgetting

in a beholding before stooping
to return red warmth to waiting Bird
before releasing
communion beneath shared trees
