What Do You Hear?

Today I hear sounds of hope
Birds singing in what I swear is a more cheerful call than yesterday
Snow blocks sliding off the roof in a satisfying woosh
Water drip drip dripping from the tips of icicles
Fundraising on VPR coming to an end
A cat's sleepy grunt as he rolls away from the heat of the wood stove
A child singing as he gets dressed for school
Water in a kettle hissing, ready for tea
The distinct sound of tires on gravel, not ice
The start of keys clicking on the keyboard
Warming up for bigger things
And still small moments of quiet
For thinking
and waiting
for everyone to come back home

What do you hear?
