I Revel In Its Wonder

Morning breeze
cold, from the North,
wet from the drizzly sky.

Birds on the feeder,
huddled, puffed, colored
cotton balls,
heads to the wind.

Sweat-shirt, hood
pulled tight,
sweat-pants, double-socks
listening to early sounds –
birds, wind, dripping water
from bare-limbed trees,
rooster, in the distance,
dog too . . .

and on my deck,
coffee in hand,
steam rising as I sip,

Life –

I revel in it's wonder.

Ain't it a beautiful world when you finally just stop all the bullcrap and take a good look at it?
