EMERGENCE

 

...emergence... Spring... this day in May 2025...

                    

                    the rains, the sun, the bloom

                        unfolding petals of magenta

                            beheld be the supernal grace

                                Mother Earth in her gracious giving .

LITURGY

Through the winter and into the Spring

Nature and time in its vow does bring

Leaves of green in a winsome array

Fullness in felicity for what shall come our way

The morning dew and rains in libation sweet

The glow and warmth of the rising sun to greet

Within the whispers of the wind secrets be told

The buds, the blooms, in adoration to unfold

A flower to be born, from green its color to reveal

A  destiny of supernal color and beauty beyond conceal

And so herald in the rites of Spring and time 

Blooms, the liturgy, in the name of the divine.

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.

             Here in my Garden ~ A Garden Bouquet ~  

                    in its array of beauty

                         in its abundance of bloom

                             in its season's call

                                 A PLANT in its expressive             

                                            Passion     

                                                    Love  

                                                    Aspiration             

                                                           Nurturance                  

                                                                                 Truth.
