Peeking Green

Peeking Green

Peeking green through melted snow
Winds of winter in whispers yet blow
A sounding serenade through barren branches heard
And the coveted song of a nesting songbird
The crisp leaves of Fall's season yet found
With broken twigs upon this awaiting ground
Driving rains upon emergent buds of green
Winter giving over to Spring in this moment seen
Felt is the quiver below my feet
Pulsing be Mother Earth as Spring she greets.

Majestic Array

Radiant be its majestic array
The light to touch its petals this day
Emergent splendor within this budding divine
Its color, its form, opulence sublime
The reaching grace of each petal I to perceive
And known be the Great Mind in which I believe.

The Presence

Budding green of the old oak tree

White blossoms upon weathered dogwood branches

Sweet song of chirping birds

The touch of warm winds

The light of the risen sun

The Presence

These gifts of grace

Upon this day known.
