Someone wiser than me has said
Spring when you wake in the morning,
Winter when you go to bed.

So the soul can find its way

“Fool,” said my Muse. “Look in thy heart and write.” ~ Sir Philip Sidney

Hope skips counterpoint to each heartbeat at every encounter.
Crow’s feet crinkle in greeting every chance they get.
