Wonder found despite a tired fractious day. It was at least a good start on a short walk up the hill to remember what morning walks feel like. Strange to be out again after 2 or more weeks. Sad that I still need to rest but trying to listen to the trees as they whispered their stillness to me.

I walked out into winter 
Left in autumn 
Now three weeks past 
And the land whispered silently 
we are here. 
We’ve stopped. 
Heard you have too. 
I gazed on the quiet still trees. 
Stopped. 
Gathered in. 
Waiting. and 
I stopped too.  
Reassured. It’s ok 
To rest.
