First Light



Castings of white in the early morn ­

soft blanket of frost upon the grass;

it coats the barren sleeping oak,

the maple and the evergreens—

what, pray tell, has come to pass?

The fairies and woodland sprites

have enlisted the north wind to their aid

and in the sleepy, predawn light

we are greeted by this sight

woven throughout a winter’s night.
