glimpsing

the tiniest sliver

of blue sky

on an otherwise

cloudy

day

swaddling

blankets

pillows

loaves

peace and

sweet dreams

for

every

one

all is...

still

quiet

under a shroud

of

snow 

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
