THE GREENING

The rays of sunlight glancing
off the flat surface of the pond,
soft breezes caressing new rushes like
unseen fingers stroking the hair
of a newborn,

the unfurling green of the lotus,
lying flat and round on the water
dark beneath,
the whispering of young cattails
bobbing on the banks,

the morning glory vine
scrambling up the rotted oak,
willow saplings with budding leaves
that soften whip-like branches,
speared irises poking through the mud,

each new bit of green is a vision
that falls pleasantly on the eye,
brought together in natural aristry
that quiets the mind
and catches the breath.

She could not stand to see me cry.
One bright morning
I woke to

Bulbs and corms push up their shoots from underneath the earth
