A New Light

Snow has passed, revealing forgotten

Stark grey sky,

Dull browns that crowd the spirit.

Russet orange life teases tree fingers

Iridescent green lichens decorate exposed boughs

Earth damp air lays heavy, odorous

Yet collared doves rejoice,

Sleek now,

Flutter dancing

Amidst lofty branches,

Beckoning spring
