Small signs of hope:
Indoor profusion
reassures me that spring waits
within winter’s snow
Small signs of hope:
Storm rages outside
Nestled in my kitchen’s warmth
orchid blooms begin
Small signs of hope:
Blessed are neighbors
with strong backs and stout shovels
and generous hearts
Small signs of hope:
Work’s siren call fades
Snowflakes cascade like starfall
My thoughts become dreams
Small signs of hope:
Vivid dreams of words
Dancing letters scattering
An unwritten song
Small Signs of Hope
More snow will come then
rain and mud and summer’s heat
probably wildfires
But at this precise moment
warm air caresses bare skin
Small signs of hope:
Popsicle Bunny
Tugs and nibbles frozen grass
Searching for sweet Spring
Small signs of hope in the coming apocalypse:
Waking in wee hours
Restless, unrested, but still
Amazed with this life
Small signs of hope in the coming apocalypse:
Look at that! The sun
came up again this morning
Such beautiful light
Smalls signs of hope in the coming apocalypse:
Unblossomed Christmas
Cactus buds prove my Seasons
Greetings aren’t too late!
