Light
The daffodils and /
orchid bloom in the window. /
Light stained with color.

“Setting”
Setting
The Earth turns away /
Receding her face from light. /
Buds hold spring within.

“Contemplate”
Contemplate
The metal cock
And the small flower
Stood by the window
For hours and hours.
The cock could not crow.
The flower could not dine.
Still, very still, they had a good time.
The sunlight filtered through
The kitchen window stained glass.
They stood there in relief
As each hour passed.
Sadly, one day, the small orchid
Will be gone
And only the metal crow
Will silently carry on.

reveal nature’s gifts.

At the crossroads /

“Bare limbs”
Bare limbs
Bare limbs cannot catch /
The falling sun, yet they hold /
Winter’s fading grip.

White bells of Spring ring /

“An opening”
An opening
An open mind learns.
An open heart compasses.
An open book starts.

“Dirty legs”
Dirty legs
Nothing brings forth Spring /
But buzzing and the hard work /
Of six dirty legs.

“Flight”
Flight
Using borrowed light, /
spying into the March night,
Moon and dreams take flight.
