a long winter's wait
only a few days to shine
as bright as a star
a hawk on its perch
a hitchhiker on roadside
solstice flashing by

raindrops on windshield
a blue heron with its catch
rain on good and bad

have you been awake
to see the sun’s morning kiss
and the clouds blushing
then the birds in serenade
a chorus of love and joy
