reassurance

How The Spirit Leans

the young tree’s shadow
rests upon its near elder
receiving sacred reassurance

constants
the river, the mountain
the flowers return
the renewal of spring

pink clouds for reassurance
dark clouds for ballast
low lying fog and blue skies ahead

a big snow
in December
beloved normalcy

delicate bloom
in a vast sky
reassures

tiny blue flowers
joy enough
to dispel doubt

threatening skies
fast changing world
the full moon reassures
