NEAR PROVIDENCE 27.1.22

”Creation is a giving to be, a bringing to be by divine art in which what is brought to be is other to the giving source.” Desmond, Voiding of Being, 94

Easily seduced

by a mild day, the snow thaw

floating in the cove,

warm sun on my cheek.

I wander further than gulls

riding ocean winds.

Hedges bursting with

sparrows, in and out, songsters

of midwinter thorns.
