tiny holy buds
dreaming just below the ice
longing for the sun
on the shoulder of another frigid weekend;
paring down our winter hearts hungry for spring.
morning ponds just outside the window
cast a frozen still life.
until the sun and one hundred waterbirds
rake this frozen slate of morning
into a shimmering
faceted dance of perfect light.
everything changes....
sometimes you turn around and hardly
recognize yourself in the passing mirror.
all the more reason to move in kindness.
choose with compassion.
be a part of something
larger than
yourself.
please visit each other and leave a few warm words.
it's been a long winter and people everywhere
are hungry for light.
XO

A warm hug to you my dear friend. Thank you for these tiny holy buds that are a promise of longer warmer days as we celebrate Imbolc and the turning of the season of ice towards the light. XOXO

Ice seems to be everywhere especially in some peoples hearts. Hopefully this ice too shall melt and the world as we know it will be better.
It is always better when I read the haiku all of these generous souls leave here. Makes me happy. Have a good weekend anyway.
