Inauguration

Bright morning sun light
Streaks across the frozen field
Bringing hope of Spring.










Thrown out Christmas tree
Lies under snow against a fence;
A new season comes.

Eaten Christmas trees,
Skeletons against the fence.
The goats have all gone.

Old familiar road
Has changed to shadowed dirt path.
Anything can happen.

Beyond the forest
Clear blue light shines through the trees.
Promise of a lake.

In row upon row
Young pines wear white winter hats;
Always green beneath.

New bird is singing;
I've heard him call in the Spring.
He takes me forward.












The sun drenched driveway,
Snow covered, winding brightly
Carries my fancies.
