Happy New Year! May your year be filled with purpose. May you create the ground underneath your feet with each step that you take. And may each of those steps bring to you the things that you may need but don't expect. Green bowl of rain water Thin shells lay at your bottom Fairy hair floats at your surface the glitter of a wing gone by A spry smile A fad to some A way of life to others They are everywhere In the bird houses In the leaves rustling In me -Jessie Hay
