On a painted sky
Great horned owl’s silhouette
Taking flight
South wind
Warm and persuasive
Running north
Perfect morning sun
Shines across the frozen lake
Whispers through the pines
Long-tailed squirrel
Bounding across the street
At the crosswalk
Warming air measured
By the layers and mittens
Left at home
This crisp morning sky
Very same as yesterday
Lit by new fire
Crisp clarity
Flame along the sky’s rim
The sun is coming
Partridges waddle
Out from their cozy cave
On the sunlit snow
Sunday morning
Through the frosted viewport
Welcome the sun
Snow-covered hills
Last of the day’s light settles
Into the weekend
