Thin ice, open water - v3

 Thin ice, open water - v3

anticipating this moment

driving over the river

hoping to see a change

a hit of spring to come

thin ice, open water

on the Penobscot

the temperature above forty

but not yet fifty

as it would be later

snow melting quickly

thin ice, open water

on the Penobscot

life changing quickly

time marching onward

about to leap forward

just a few days further

thin ice, open water

on the Penobscot

driving by, looking,

wanting to see this changing

at the vistas, the landscape

marveling at the turning

thin ice, open water

on the Penobscot

soon green grasses

smells of spring, of summer

dark waters, people, vacations,

a million, a cascade of senses;

but for today thin ice, open water

on the Penobscot
