O Glorious Day!
Greeting me with open arms,
The sun
With shimmering tendrils
Of warmth
Caresses my body in greeting
This early morning.

Mother welcomes me back
Like a lost child
With only tender love
And joy to give
Despite this long absence,
This winter of the soul.

She sends ambassadors
The doe on the trail
Red chirping squirrels
Singing with chickadees.
Moss cushions my feet
As I walk amongst trees
As we get reacquainted.

O Glorious Day!
It is good to be home
Once again.
