March Arrived Like a Capricious Cat

Glass wind chimes

hang

immovable

stiff

shrouded in new snow

March arrived like a capricious cat

crouched

hunkered down, bent over

spring-loaded, squat

Changeable!

Early this morning

I stepped cautiously through deep snow

March is the time to follow new dreams

that arrived in the flurry

of late winter snowstorms and blizzards

quietly

wordless

yet surging

inside, beneath layers of trees

my awakened

awareness heard songs

crows called

across the grey sky

Sharp, staccato

melodies

lyrical

red-breasted robins sang duets

together

hidden

somewhere beyond, out of sight

March arrived like a lion today

swept away my doubts.
