In celebration of melted ice and snow
Deer pranced and played
In the damp grass
On the hillside
Circling a now-barren tree
That provides shade on warmer days-
Their joy, almost palpable,
Spread to the cars passing by-
Following days of teeth-chattering cold
They were a welcomed sight-
As I continued driving
Sunlight soaked through my skin
Warming all the way to the bone
Melting not only the ice
And snow outside, but also
The frost that had attempted
To wrap itself around my heart

Oh, Kelley, the warmth melted my frost, too, dear friend. God knows just how to shift a season–and prepare my heart and soul to accept the warmth. The palpable joy of the deer; just beautiful. Your words always touch my heart. Love and prayers, always, Karlaπβ£οΈππΌ
