*Poem-a-day number 11*
Warm days in winter
are my favorite kind of fairy tale.
The kind of fable
that reminds you:
the best miracles
are the regular ones,
the simple goodness
already built into this life,
lost from sight, only briefly,
under layers of coldness
and gray.
The sun lights up
a reminder:
that grace never leaves you.
It never ever leaves.
It’s there beneath your feet,
and behind your wooden doors,
waiting for the sudden burst
within you that remembers
and calls it to come out
and play.
