Clearing snow from paths

to satisfy Love

 

Here, subject to love

curiosity opens

the waiting riches

 

Creation hungers

for us to be its lover

furthering love’s reach

by blessing life with water

soft soil underfoot

 

Birds come to seeds flung

feeding along with hungry squirrels

and unseen others
