Never More Lovely
Missouri River with a briskness that raises my hair
Sprinkling of snow, but nothing frozen yet
I take a deep whiff of woodsy gladness,
Feeling more in touch with God than ever
The earth world has never been this lovely
Angels and faeries are not far behind; I sense them
Hear a leaf crunch, a twig snap
Look up to see a deer, a doe
She stands and stares at me
Gives that famous deer cough
I briefly see her white tail as she hops over a fallen log
Silence now. Not even a bird noise.
An ethereal quiet.
I stand still, waiting for a miracle
The air tells me it is already here
