A Good Year
It snowed last night.
Sometime after the New Year arrived
And left everything pristine
Covered in a thick gesso
Applied by Mother Nature
For just such an occasion
As I looked upon this glory
I realized it was a gift
A new beginning.
The palate has been wiped clean
It was a new world.
I took my snow ski’s from their resting place
And bundle up for a cross country ski.
It would be brilliant to be among that which made me
And appreciate the quiet that only new snow fall brings
And of course to give me time to reflect upon my life.
Where was I?
Where had I been?
Where was I going?
All valid points on this the first day of a new year.
I grinned ear to ear as I slipped into the morning light
It was going to be a good year.
