everyone is watching sunsets
and sunrises
the photos are glorious
all pink and softness
wrapped around all our snowflakes
lying deep on the frozen earth
moments of brightness
that makes one
catch
their
breath
it doesn't seem as if winter has been so long
and now the days are lengthening
we are not asleep
when the sun rises
and sets
It is joyous
this sharing
that lightens our hearts
colours of warmth
that spark our spirits
and awakens us
each one to share with their neighbour
the beauty they caught
as they looked out a window
or took a walk
or were off on horseback
It is joyous
this waking
from
winter's
slumber
and then I remember
we still have three months
and that can stretch to six
before snow melts
and green grass
meets our smiles
and gives us
as much joy as
sunrises
and
sunsets
and God will wrap that around our hearts
and everyone will post pictures
of new calves
and baby goats
crocuses
and kids
running barefoot
and we will laugh together
this sharing of
hearts
too full
with the beauty
it will spill from
one heart to
another
from God's
heart
to ours
we will call it Spring
my favourite things
