on the eve of spring...

the birds are planning

to return

and sing their songs

and soothe our souls

come back soon

fly back soon

small feathered

ones 

sun and shadows

and the trees

are dancing

today 

and then one day...

calm ascended

over everything

everyone

everywhere 

tonight's wish...

one warm blanket

to wrap around

the world

swaddling us

all

in

peace 

~

singing their songs

the sweet sparrows

had a lot

to say

today 

hoping for a reset

under this

new

moon 

everything

is 

more quiet

under a blanket

of

snow 

with each day...

a little more light

in the sky

a little more

hope space 

in

the 

heart 

reckoning

shadow?

no shadow...

spring!
