“Saffron Sunrise”
For three miserable months,
the chilling cold has resided
in the marrow of my arthritic bones.
Today,
with the Brittany on leash,
before breakfast,
as the sun rises on our walk,
I unsnap the earflaps of my hat,
loosen the scarf from my face
and feel warm yellow beams
invade my soul karma
as the Brittany stops haphazardly
to smell the green leaves
of emerging snowdrops.
