snow jewels
light frost frames my southern windows
as the first snow flakes of the new year
float and dance on swirling winds
and dawning light plays peek-a-boo
in and out of the clouds
snow jewels of dreams and plans
dance on my intuitive breezes, too,
all on windblown flights
of sky-song hopes
and fresh found wishes
high above
a bright morning star dangles
in the sapphire southeast sky
finger branches
of tall black trees
reach up with me
to grasp the light
while the peachy dawn
spills into a just hatched january day
of this fresh born hope-filled year
