Trust, rewarded


Having moved to this community during CoVid, 
I haven’t spent a lot of time exploring, 
And I’m still a little timid; a bit stuck 
On driving the familiar routes 
To get to familiar places. 
But every once in a while, 
On my way to somewhere else,
 I take a turn down unfamiliar roads 
(I’m learning to trust 
 They’ll all lead to the same place) 
And oh, what delightful surprises await —
 Like this one, with its view: 
The snow- capped mountains, 
And the castle in the distance, 
And the tree, unlike its neighbors, 
Which has yet to lose its greenness and its leaves…
