a day of sudden hard light:
we’ve grown so tired
watercolor gray, so
with each visible sunbeam
we anticipate snow melting
on the verge, imagine the bee-
house warming and all green
pushing from the other side,
touch to touch, still seeking
wisdom’s communion
but tree-tough, immune
to frost, to blossom
You can read Frost’s “To Earthward” here.
beautiful write!

We are all waiting for this, but the days are growing longer and lighter.

That weariness…but Merril is right, things are pointing in the right direction. (K)

I do like how you brought in that toughness in the end – both wanting the easy and being willing to not have it. Nicely done.
