I found it beautiful today
though I do not always think so–
(missing the hush of leaves, the damp sweet rot of shade)
prairie grass and gray green yucca
snow still clinging to small patches of shade
the dogs beside me, gulping it in (pure joy)
that was as much. that was enough.
Beautiful
What a great expression. While glad to have escaped the Michigan gray and loving all that is here, somehow deciduous leaves just feel right.
