Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.

Monsters of winter still cling. /
Dry leaves whispering.

White bells of Spring ring /
quietly on quaint breezes: /
come, blueberries, come.

Beguiled
Beguiled by Spring’s smile, /
tight blueberry buds relax. /
Promises and hope.

I am
I am a bird,
made of star stuff.
To the Phoenix, I return.

Open
Two leaves search for spring. /
Rain falls and searches the leaves. /
New starts and old ways.
