SUNDAY ESCAPE, by                    
First Line: Away we go / with the snow in our eyes
Last Line: A hopeful heart that sings.
Subject(s): Vacation


Away we go
With the snow in our eyes
Spreading along the rise
Of mountain peaks
Too far to feel
Biting of chill-touched air,
Rushing where blossoms flare
A sudden white
On early-wakened boughs.
Markings of many ploughs
Disturb the green
Softening the brown hills
Where the small creature drills
His endless holes.

Inside there is a reaching out,
A feeling for these things,
A moment's quieting of doubt,
A hopeful heart that sings.
