drippings (toast to winter series)

it's foggy today
and as i step out onto the deck
to breathe deep of the morning air

i am delighted by the sounds i hear

subtle
soft drippings
from trees, roof, and guttering

sweet murmuring heralds
of spring


*"And Lucy felt that deep shiver of gladness that you only get when you are being solemn and still."

**I felt like lucy this morning.
