Grey sky, green leaves

I nurture all my natural abilities.

I cultivate what I want to grow.
    Walking to the Metro this morning,
    cranky winter slaps back down impatient spring.
    Yellow-green leaflets taunt light snow flurries.
    Another chance to don the full-length down coat.
    A fifteen minute delay of trains is announced.
    I hunker down with the book that is absorbing me.

    Overhead, pigeons and seagulls shiver in the trees.
    Then, two hot-blooded crows rocket across the sky.

    Without reality, what would we transcend?

I find the best in myself and others.
