I sat in my car
by the small lake and
observed how the
shadows of trees
stretched out along
the grass.
It’s been months
since the sun has
shined like this,
a preview of spring.
I have impatiently waited
for warmer days,
and the sparkle of
the moving current.
Even on a low day,
watching a goose spin
itself around in the water
to get clean, helps.
