Footprints in the Windsm # 2260–Unlensed eyes

Footprints in the Windsm # 2260

I look out the window with my unlensed eyes. Up there, the maple buds, not yet burst, all deep red-orange-brown, are waving lazy fingers in front of each other, making patterns of caresses. Now the light slides in and the brilliance of that deep red-orange-brown shocks my eyes, I blink. The little white cloud behind lights these buds, and now these, a lover’s close examination. Lower, the green stained white of a pear tree receives the gentle cool sun. The pond is still, waiting for the reflection to arrive. Full sun lingers and I’d have missed it if I had only looked now.
