The Sufficiency

Snow.  Cold.  Gray clouds edged
in white, the sun golden
contained in the sky.  
The branches naked, 
still the haunts
of the Holy Ghost passing by.
I sit in the contentment
and discontentment of being
mix-blooded,
                     human and divine,
                     longing and desiring --
that blood flowing through me
I can choose to deny 
but still keeps me alive.
The sun  has found the snow:
how the two seem to fit just so.
What is possible is simply
possible in the eternity
called now.

-Byron Hoot
