Trust the Hours

Trust the hours,

for surely that's what we have the most of.

Trust stretching time:

seconds and minutes

innocently waiting to be noticed,

to be en-joyed by your awareness.

Spend more time than usual

delighting in the way the winter trees' sharp lines

look like cracks in the blue dome of sky.

When Spring prepares to emerge

and you walk along the sidewalks

stop for seconds,

minutes even,

to see the swelling at the nodes

of every branch and twig.

 

Hope, we call it.

 

Pause, when you open the door

and claim the morning news,

to feel the change in the weather.

Trust the seconds and the minutes

and the hours will reward you.
