Easter Sunday brunch—
 
crimson tulips in full bloom
 
keep distracting us.

Mar30

 
 
 

Plant the plum–and wait.
 
You cannot hasten fruiting
 
by force or fretting.

Mar29

 
 
 

gift of Good Friday—
 
learning some things in darkness
 
no light can reveal

Mar28

 
 
 

A red-winged blackbird
 
surveys his vast dominion—
 
satisfied, he sings.

Mar27

 
 
 

When I think of him,
 
my friend the desert-dweller,
 
white hyacinths bloom.

Mar26

 
 
 

After the Worm Moon,
 
the scent of early blossoms
 
stains the warming air.

Mar25

 
 
 

In adoration
 
I bow to the creator
 
of the full Worm Moon.

Mar24

 
 
 

hymns on Palm Sunday—
 
behind the bright and clear notes
 
a veil of darkness

Mar23

 
 
 

Eager to get home,
 
the mud that sucks at my feet
 
fails to slow me down.

Mar22

 
 
 

All it takes is one,
 
one daffodil in full bloom—
 
my weariness flees.
