Emergent Spring



She comes trailing tresses of catkins

skirts embroidered with johnny jump ups

purple and gold blossoms

leaves greener than promises of riches

bold iris swords 

laughing clumps of daffodils 

lilac buds swollen almost to bursting


Precious white bird

unseen for many days

he thrived throughout the coldest months

I will not think of what might have happened 

I celebrate that he graces my life

brings his aura of peace 

acceptance

blessings of all that is 

grateful for his lingering presence 

beyond the earthly being


Claimed by the wild

as we all are

in our time 

vanished it might be into the mystery 

perhaps to return in some form

or not
