That First Snow Feeling

the first snow

always elicits a sense

of wonder

in me

a feeling that

everything is new again

and that the world

is being reborn

entering a new phase

in its annual cycle

of growth

the first snow

transforms

even

dirty, tangled, old

tree branches

into something 

fresh and mesmerizing

again

that calms

and inspires

and fascinates

everyone.

    memories of the day before.

    A whistle

    a ball

  • All Good Things

    I am still growing tall

    Reaching my shoots 

    of knowledge and ideas

    of perspective and friendship

    high into the sky to roam

    with the falcons and eagles

    sparrows and finches.
