Perfect Day
Snow on the ground, deep and crisp and even.
Well, not deep at all, more like a light dusting.
A journey into Covent Garden,
not arduous like the journey of the Magi,
but nevertheless
finding something unexpected on arrival:
a performer delighting and amusing the small crowd
with his wit and well-rehearsed act.
A gift on a morning when I felt weary and witless,
but with enough time to stop and stare,
and be given to by a wise man.
