Today, I opened the gate to winter
And the north wind blows
I've been thinking again
About endings and beginnings
Today, tomorrow
Daisies
and magpies.
About joy
And about sorrow
What a strange thing
The weight we leave behind
Did you want to shape it
So it was just right?

Follow
Like a shining pebble
On the ocean's shore,
Knowing the storms
That smoothed the pebble
And the pebble is
As the pebble is.
All I have is love
I'm not sure I want
to leave any of it unspoken
I want to give it all away
Setting just enough aside
In a shining pebble
For anyone who needs to pick it up.
