enchanted

horse drawn carriage
made from hollow sugared apple
birthday candle coach lights

traveling
labyrinthine mountain
it is snowing atop your cake
bucolic

snowmen made from
white fluff icing

joni mitchell songs
red wine paintings
and steaks for dinner

aunt stopping by
with surprise chocolate pie

the susquehanna sends it’s love
riparian

one hundred dollars found
no one knew was lost

tea steeped with smiling omens

poems read aloud
to thriving sprouts

freshwater tears
grow family trees

embraces freely given

happiness sits in the cookie jar

ghosts standing outside
draw hearts
on the frosted window glass

this day this life
beautiful
