a cardinal sings

outside our window
as Winter kneels before Spring
a cardinal sings

in secret we watch
as our grumpy old neighbor
feeds our puppies treats

after surgery
I have begun to accept

sons of ancient wars

winter morning hymn

winter morning hymn
the frozen trees bend their limbs
bowing to the sun
