Offering XXIV: Spring Equinox

March 20, 2025

Here it is, a day of

soft rain becoming wet snow,

and the fire still lit

Was I warm enough?

Could you feel it?

Do you observe me from far away

now in this leather lazy boy

Morning rain and coffee

in this empty space

I listen

Rising up

turning the old bedroom doorknob

your steps approach

through the bathroom

Readying comforters

I wait patiently (you taught me this)

and there you are

looking down at me.

A new day
