first day of new year
clouds already conspiring
with obliging sun

first day of new year
clouds already conspiring
with obliging sun

nature has a way
even on a stormy day
to make the heart smile

boundless energy
even on a rainy day
going up and down

long before they’re seen
the calls of geese approaching
cutting the grayness

caught up in the clouds
crossing to the other side
even without boats
