First Bloom ~ Spring 2022



 
"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems."
Rainier Maria Rilke

And now this very day

First Bloom
Perceived joy in this moment real
A sense of oneness I shall not conceal
The lilting exuberance, the embracing calm
Life in all its blossoming, its abundance, its wondrous charm
This moment barren of loss, fear, regret or sorrow
Holds the promise of BEING, this hour, this day, a tomorrow
Behold this moment that is known, and we now to share
REJOICE in the MAKER, HE, the light and gift of our care.
This spirit, this soul, this life bequeathed to You, to me
Ever was, ever is and ever shall BE
The flowering Rhododendron in its first bloom of grace
The delight of Spring within heart to place
And as I look to the lambent sky of this day
Blessed be all in the embrace of The Path, The Way.

From days of Spring of my early years, to this very moment, there be a supernal joy from a budding flower, a dance known within my very soul of BEING.  Yes, I,  a child born of Spring, of ARIES, of passion, in an ever present pulsing call, moment by moment, and so the artist, the poet, the visionary, breath by breath.
