There Still

 -------There Still-------

Snow 

upon 

the northside 

Slope there 

still 

reminds me

To never take

the light

for granted

But hold it

with 

the struggle.

-------

Sweet Friend

 -------Sweet Friend-------

The birds,

sweet friend,

are singing

Springtime

in the snow

And seeds

in Fall

We planted

now

Begin

at last

to grow.

(R)Evolution

 -------(R)Evolution-------

On frozen ground

A seed 

awaits

Patient and ever-ready

For the world 

to turn

In revolution

And call us 

toward the light.

-------

Spring Begins

 -------Spring Begins-------

Spring begins

within 

the shifting

Between quiet

and the song

The thaw

and thickness

of sunlight sugar

From Maple

to the tongue.
