Winter becomes Spring

though most our days are cloudy

around sunset

the sun often lights up our world

rain instead of snow

these days

snow is thawing

my creek and ponds (still frozen)

rise and overflow their banks

I stepped outside

 a skunk wandering by

happy and cautious was I

last night it got down to 19F

creek and ponds

froze over

creating their temporary 

sacred geometry

~

I believe that  winter has bowed out to spring
