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!

a light for the tarnished souls


Title & Photography by Brooke Shaden 



Wind, tinder my words
ivory blade, glinting silver
than winter's splintered ice

Sun, flint my shadows
reddening my cheeks to bloom
than spring's first plume

Sky, marshal my feet 
to carve a path sieved  
of autumn's dying leaves

Sea, lighthouse my way, with bird's
eye, I hurdle storms, ignited 
by wildfires of summer nights

Wind, tinder my words
Sun, flint my shadows
Sky, marshal my feet
Sea, lighthouse my way, with bird's

eye, I witness the
beautiful

                        in me -
