Poetry: Spring

Did I miss the arrival of spring?
Bees are out to pollinate
Am I too late?

But wait, Ive been here all along
Was I not observant enough?
I go to sleep, the grass is brown
When I awaken, the grass is green
I go to work, the trees are bare
Arriving home, the leaves are there



Okay, I missed the forsythia blooming
I'll catch the phoebes arriving
Oh no, they are already here!

If I could stay awake
Doing nothing but watching and listening
Could I actually see it happen?
Or like a practiced magician
Using slight of hand
Does it magically appear before our very eyes?

    giving a soft flush of color
    to a stark and

    She came softly,
    My friend Spring.
    She saw me, cold and alone.
    She could not stand to see me cry.

    One bright morning
    I woke to

    Turn of the Wheel, begin again with the season of rebirth,
    Bulbs and corms push up their shoots from underneath the earth
    In
