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!
