this morning i woke up atop a cold bright mountain

took a pale blue breath

looked out over thirty snarled years of vibrant landscape,

yellows and embers and violets

all a scarf i want to wrap around my neck,

not to protect but to honor the voice

we sing lovingly into the corners of our places and directions

far below there is a small cold December stream

water dancing lightly over rocks

catching small pieces and twinklings of sunlight

singing lovingly

into its place and direction
