Sky Jewel

A blanket of quiet 
inside
And 
out
match the blanket of snow
covering the landscape of the yard. 

Making my way quietly 
down 
the stairs, 
quiet feet across the floor 
to make the first cup.

Looking out the window 
above the faucet-
A surprise.
After two mornings 
and days filled with grey skies and snow,
A patch of brilliant blue 
through the snow-covered trees.
And hanging like a round plate, 
the moon,
whiter than the snow, 
swimming in the sky
true blue.

Grateful
to be present 
to witness 
the beauty
glimpsed from the window
of the
heart 
of my home.
