Dearest Pine


offers color all through winter
and presents a profusion of green vitality
in these last heartless days before the blooming of spring.

Delicate


Branches blush as buds begin to swell.
Subtly color creeps into the landscape.

Sweet Magnolia


The bright blue sky bites with cold.
Buds hunker down waiting for a warmer sun
to shed their fuzzy jackets and unfurl petaled perfection.

Return


The landscape shifts from white to green.
Ice is no match for the determination of spring.

Beneath


A thin blanket of snow covers the pond
concealing the secret lives of fish.

Melt


As the earth softens
spring finds hospitality
in the primordial offering of mud.

Surfacing


From the cold, dark earth
emerges the noble daffodil
shouldering its way to the sun.
