sunrise and sunset
sometimes the only colors
on a winter day
day after day of greyness
where oh where is the North Star
sunrise and sunset
sometimes the only colors
on a winter day
day after day of greyness
where oh where is the North Star
to let go and be
submerged and lifted again
conversion of heart
advancement of common good
requires trust in the other

three day old snowman
good that he doesn’t realize
his days are numbered
then again so are all ours
live each day like it’s a gift

ready or not, jump
hand in hand, let’s ride the wind
as long as it takes
to decay and be absorbed
to bud again one fine spring
