spring morning appointment

 

let's meet under the maple tree

the sky is periwinkle blue

the garden is rain-sprinkled, new,


greening & lush, i will bring tea

& you will bring your silence, soft

as dawn, nesting of spry pines, washed


warm amber, soothing our knees

will we mellow & flow into  

radiant spring morning?  i hope so 


there are birdsongs & rowdy bees

& wild dandelions to blow

& red daisies to string & stow


& blooming pink lilacs to see

& wind to chase.  this is no ploy

our pockets will be full of joy!


let's meet under the maple tree
