A brisk wind blowing
The sun shining on green buds
Life returns at last

Be nice to birds, but keep your distance
I once spoke a word
To a little bird
I said, “Sing, o songbird, for me”
I called from below
And it chittered so
High up in the sycamore tree
It hopped fro and to
And I tell you true
It sang high and loud with no glee:
“Begone, noisome one
With your songs be done!
Quit chattering and leave me be!”
3/30/2021 – Whispering
Blessed rain falls
Quietly pattering
A soft percussion on a dark night
Whispering
The sun is out!
The sun is out!
And so I shout
Of joy and vitamin D!
At last my gaze
Meets with sunrays
Oh, give your gladness to me!
3/20/2021 – the moon’s cool light
In the moon’s cool light
All the world is pale and still
All awaits the dawn
3/18/2021 – Blessed yellow light
Blessed yellow light
Shining on the tops of pines
As the sun descends
Like the trees
I want to be like the trees
Blown about, they stand
Roots deep
Branches reach wide
Wind whistling through
In all seasons they stand tall
Each year they grow
Change
Evolve
I want to be like the trees
3/8/2021 – Happy spring!
The sun is shining bright
With warm and heav’nly light
All I can do is lift my arms and breathe
The damp air smells of green
The sky is clearest blue
And at long last the winter’s chill recedes
Alive once more
Wind howls and bites
The ground is icy cold
There is little green
And all slumbers
But life flickers
The sun smiles
Buds peek
Ice melts
The world is set to come alive once more
Icicles
Spires of clearest glass
As they would seem upside down
Dripping clean water
