did you stop and notice
soak it in, taste it?
I paused,
scanned
The horizon,
the foreground
all around me
in wonder, awe
grateful, I paused
stopped my rushing
the sunrise, break of day
frozen and melting
shadow and weak February sun
on new snow
Canary and dusty/powder blue
sculpted on the substantial clouds
(not summer gossamer)
and fused with the
gray below, the edge of land
waking this Wednesday
if you paused
long enough
to drink it in
