Halting for Humor

Wisdom from the Wild

Linda Ann Nickerson
"Spring is nature's way of saying,

'Let's party!'"

Robin Williams

American Comedian and Actor

(1952 - )
.

Perhaps the sky is falling.

Maybe he bid his senses farewell.

Possibly, he has simply paused to play.

Surely that's the point.
.

The ice turns to ivy.

Mud turns to meadow.

Frost turns to flowers.

And I still believe.
.

Perhaps the halter is a halo.

Maybe his head is a helicopter.

Possibly, he is simply fond of frolic.

Surely that's the point.
.

The ice turns to ivy.

Mud turns to meadow.

Frost turns to flowers.

And I still believe.
