The Miracle

Who knows what miraculous thing
has been hiding away all winter.
What grows quietly beneath the surface,
just waiting.
Maybe, when the sun starts to come out,
something grand will unfurl its petals
and turn its face toward the sky.
Maybe it will be more beautiful
than you ever imagined
as it dances slowly in the wind.
Maybe you will wonder
how something such as that
could ever be contained,
as it bursts forth from its hiding place.
Maybe it will be a miracle,
something graceful
and confident,
and beautiful.
But for now,
all you can do is wait.

    but they can't hear what I say
    until I am actually done talking. 
    We are moving at different speeds.

    Laughter

    I sit under a tree
    as the little snowflakes start to fall.
    The first ones in weeks,
    and I had really been enjoying spring.
    My pants are wet and cold,
    my shoes and socks are waterlogged
    from slipping into the icy river.
