Beginnings

He was there
unaware
of the magic
about to happen

She was there
quite aware
of a change
in the air

The current
seemed confused
maybe even
slightly amused

As unspoken
urges
drifted blindly
on the breeze

Wafts of wintry splendor

cold-1284028_1280

Wafts of wintry splendor
roll across my shoes.
Tickling the tip of my nose
anything to amuse.

I giggle at the exchange
between the natural world and me.
Nothing can ever cheer me up
like the earth and all the wonder I see.
