winter’s sky holds images
winged birds in
flight fluttering
black taffeta
dotting the
horizon
black birds blend in
grey skies
amidst giant
evergreen trees
branches waving
as leafy arms
in the wind but I
remain safe and warm
cloistered within
 home as sanctuary
waiting for warmer breezes
to return along with
voices of songbirds
heralding in
spring
