Traveled miles to bend over, cup my hands for snow crusted
at the driveway edge making the first snowball
of the season, cold and full of life
A wire clothes hanger straightened, same as my father taught me
to use to fish something from a hard place, was lying
on the edge of their driveway, cold and full of life
You can despair when the band of clouds hides what could be
a glorious sunset, or turn and look the other way to see
a white orb in the distance, cold and full of life
Just out of reach of the tree branches the white orb flies,
an almost orb at same time, whole yet not completely
revealed in this light, cold and full of life
Filled the 3 bird feeders, emptying 40 lbs bag of mixed seeds
to nourish those winged by what's left
of the light this day, cold and full of life
SHARE, LEVERAGE, & EXPAND reveal themselves
as my three guiding words for this new year providing
nourishment for this day which otherwise is cold and full of life
