a certain weight can be lifted


 i am this day 

this day breaking blue sky dotted by carnation pink 

snow below 

cold 

wind soon bracing to greet feathered things alighting here 

and there 

searching for a miniature moment of hope 

i am this day 

where shadows have retreated to earth & memory 

do our dreams hold the past or the promise? 

do our days light with grace or sorrow? 

all is here in the first light 

all is there in the delighted chittering of a sparrow 

be this day
