An Ode To The Living

[Driftless]

 

 

I am the diamond glints in snow,


 

I am the fog lifting in the early morn,


 

I am the kaleidoscope of fall's first breath,

 

I am the purr of my old gray cat,

 

 I am a warm cleansing spring rain,

 

I am the sun setting on a fine day,

 

 I am the memories of who came before,

 

I will never leave.
