Primroses!
how winter thins
as shadows quicken
in sunlit trees
.
as dew swells
the un-sheared lawn
with promises, promises
.
and dreams are joined
at the wing.

She thought it was
the autumn sun
shining on the maple tree,
but no
it was suspended leaves
defying the grey
with red-gold embers
self-lit in the gloom.
It was the spark
within the dead,
the nuances of yesterday,
the fire of life
banked against all odds.

She searches for a pulse
her fingers knead the earth
overturning stones
to reach the heart of Gaia
and there she rides the quake
of nature’s womb
lifting her face
to catch the genesis
of sun and rain
and wind
and moon
till seedlings birth
their promises.
Labor replete
she bows her head
as the gods
kiss the dirt
beneath her nails.
