Singing
Soothing souls,
Serenading
Trembling moments erase the darkest gloom,
Stardust shadows echo through the silence,
Glistening truth,
Playing soft,
Warbling

Owls
Through the
Lapland snows

She,
magnet;
attracting
half a dozen
of quacking, waddling ducks like scrap metal
A toddler is casting her magic spell
with mere bread crumbs;
a wondrous
sight to

Little heart stirs,
quickened by

is warm,
feet soaking
up excitement.
Grownups pine to be stirred, awash with peace.

of a young girl
that sends rings of iridescent ripples
across the placid surface of the pond
signaling them
to gather
for free
food
