A restful Sunday to all!

You
I keep you
deep in my heart
you waltzed in
curled up
and never left
ever so often
I find myself hiding you
in my poetry
yes – I do keep you
deep in my heart

knots
spring breeze
revealing itself
in the fine tremors
of the pear blossoms
playful shadow
cast by a butterfly in flight
under the noon day sun
these moments in time I reach for
when my stomach is in knots
by events out of my control

Immortality
with the lilt
of a butterfly
falling leaf
fulfilling the arc of life –
chasing immortality

Hope
On my walk this morning through the neighborhood I came upon this scene. Nestled in the barely there grass, near to the concrete edge of the sidewalk was this hint of purple. Wow! Why are you all alone? I wondered out loud. Yes, I was talking to the flower. I could just imagine what the homeowner was thinking had they witnessed this scene. Fool headed.. they might say.
standing alone
with hope for spring
a crocus flower

Skin
knowing looks, whispers
outright aggression
due only to the skin one is in
this norm sewn into our fabric
not swiftly abandoned
cannot withstand hard looks
does this not gnaw
at every soul?
this thing, that is undoing us,
will it ever be excised?

Intricacies of Spring
the snow covered field of yesterday
is now a patchwork of grass
and barely there snow
now being tended to
by a meandering wave of returning geese –
the intricacies of spring
