One Glimpse

     Bare, bony fingers probe
       nature’s naked cupboard
 
     Nary a morsel seen
       nutrition confined to dreams 

     December winds howl o’er barren ground
        January storms muffle all sound

     February thaws gurgle whispers of hope
        Crushed by March, snowdrifts abound

     Bears in hibernation, birds down south
        We humans alone, down in the mouth …

     One glimpse of Robin redbreast
        ~ no longer depressed
