Plodding morning shadows
Blanket the cracks
Along the patio
Droplets fall
Into tiny pools
That brighten with
The white light of renewal
As one memory eludes me
Another consumes me
A pane of glass
Fogged by breath from nostrils
Keeping me at bay
From a world less hostile
The world is so vain and uncertain
A death in the family and I'm in love again
New day
New day
New day
New day
Melting frost
On the juniper
Greyness evolves
Into a spectrum of color
