Early Morning Before the Melt

" It has to do with full moments
of mountains, deserts, sun, gods,
song, completeness..

It has to do with rebirth and growing
and being strong and seeing"

- Simon J. Ortiz (Four Poems for my Grandson)

It was biting cold, but the sun on my cheek was warm enough.  Two hawks swooped overhead and perched in a nearby tree.  I watched them for quite some time...

and then one landed.
