After the storm
ice covers everything
causing metal fences to glisten like diamonds
and leafless tree branches,
otherwise brown and dowdy,
now shimmer and glimmer
like a bride on her wedding day.
Meanwhile, cedar trees
are bowed over, genuflecting in awe.
Mice and bird tracks,
unseen for days,
are back-- signs of life in a cold
mysterious land.
And inside our house
miraculously
the orchid has bloomed!
Will wonders never cease?
