A Day in March
One more day of clouds
the color of steel,
hardly a color at all.
On a day like this
any creature with half
a brain would linger
in the burrow, wait
for the sun, and sleep.
But I am sixty-five;
I know how light can fade.
I will go for a walk
in the woods, down
to that meadow
by the river, and there
I will dip my hands
into flowing waters
and remember who I am
and where the river goes.R.W. French
