Winters coat

Put on your winters coat
and wait awhile.
Catch the breeze,
the scent of resting hedgerow
as cold nights give way
to short days of bright blue skies
and a promise of spring.

My eye rests on a robin,
a radiant chest of health aglow
to all the possibilities of a New Year.
We catch each other’s thoughts
and then she flies,
her wings catching the currents
as she ebbs ever forward.
