A new year…
A beginning and an ending found
Reminding the rest of us to look up and around
I'll take more notice now at the amber leaves
Twirling their way down
To the fresh green grass
Their edges
Damp
But refreshed
By the haloed January air and
The thought of a blonder daffodil Spring
When the rain comes again
And the tulips lift their heads
To drink and smile a soft yellow hello
I'll be thinking of you
As you decide which room to nap in
Which window to gaze out of
Which redwood to adopt
In your forest
Oasis
Lit by a golden
Sugar bear
Fire
Safe in
The backyard
Of your tomorrow
