Spring at home

The dogs have busied themselves in the slant light garden of early day

daffodils still upright while the organic treat of freshly dug grass shows itself irresistible 


Each tree has been examined for fresh signs of spring

magnolia flowers nearly spent 

pear and apple in bud

fuzzy oak twig ends

lilac tips showing their petal colors

lone finch flies food to fountain


Home awaits with comforting arms open to receive the weary travelers

jazz piano and saxophone 

here in the mid morning 

my shoulders suggest more sleep would be just the thing


There is a secret I had learned but tucked too deeply away

it is this

we are a part of the garden 

in the winter down time our homes are our earth 

holding us inside 

awaiting the full faced sunlight

the fast growing green grass

honeyed cascades of jasmine

meadow lark canticle 

fleshy fig silken rose 

I see a pair of goldfinches 

shaking their feathers 

the season is preparing its dandelion apothecary 

I am ready
