March, Winter

March:

snow has fallen most days

or nights

often only an inch

last night we got 6 inches
at this time of year
I always wonder if it is our last sincere snowfall

I see dark eyed Juncos daily

true to their name

it is hard to see their eyes

often around sunset

the sun touches our world

with passion

the world is hushed under the blanket of snow

but for the birds

and 

this pileated woodpecker

drums on the trees

and fills the sky

with 

rhythm
