The end is in sight
Wake back up in readiness
Push to the ribbon
You’ve lined it all up just so
Knock ’em dead out there cowboy

Bright spots are everywhere
but you have to be willing

They shine regardless of your notice

Today we celebrate the impending,
the nearly, the glow on the horizon

It was there from the beginning
it was just farther away
moment by moment we advance

The birds know this
but they don’t dwell on it

It wouldn’t occur to them
not to trust
that a new dawn will arrive

Well, the ice is melting here AND it’s Thursday. Happy Groundhog Day! If we are getting 6 more weeks of winter, I hope it doesn’t include more of what we just had (or worse). Thanks for reading!
