One Minute Here

The signs are everywhere.
The crisp cool air.
The waning light.
The birds - and their annual migration.

In one minute - here.
In the next - they’ve taken flight.
On their path - southbound - for the winter.

Filling the Empty

Alone.

In the morning quiet. Only me and my sweet girl pup. Not a word to be said.

She and me - invisible.

She stops. I stop. We watch and wait and listen. The spring snow - I'm thinking - is the most beautiful of all the snow I've seen.

Thick. Gentle. Warm and white. Silent.

I hear the peck-pecking of a woodpecker...the familiar trill of the red-winged blackbird.

In the in between - I hear the sweet melody of the robin's song.

Slowly - a symphony is forming.

I think about the seasons. The freeze and the thaw. The never-ending cycles.

How one ending is another beginning and that same beginning is another's end.

Life goes on.

It always has. It always does. It always will.

One year ago - spring arrived as a promise. This year - I'm not so sure what to believe. Perhaps - there is no such thing.

Only hopes. Only dreams. Only possibilities.

Time doesn't heal. It - perhaps - lessens the intensity. But with time - the void and loss and emptiness becomes more real.

I sit.

I wait for signs of spring's re-birth and renewal. I remember another day...another time. I remember one year ago.

I watch - as the birds fly free.

If only for a moment - filling the space of the empty.

Blank Canvas

December 23, 2012 Marcie Scudder

It was the perfect backdrop. Early morning winter fog....an unexpected and lone merganser duck appearing out of nowhere.

A scene unfolding.

A blank canvas awaiting to be filled with words and color.
