Behind the Veil

The sun was melting the snow on the roof and sending "rain" down in front of the back door.
The air was still full of snow glitter.
I stepped out through the veil. My crow friend was on the back patio.
The Red Bellied was in the Chinese Lilac. Mr. Cardinal was in a pink light.
It is cold, 14 degrees, I want to be outside in the glitter with the birds.
I am stepping out.
