Sometimes in Spring

Sometimes in Spring
When the clouds are sitting low and broody
And you forget your warmer jacket
And sit shivering

You look up and in the middle-distance
There are little white flakes, fluttering

And your heart jumps
And you think
“Oh no. Please no.
I thought we were done with this.”

And you let your eyes wander
For some sort of comfort to hold you
against the looming specter of cold,
And you see the rest of the blossoms

Still on the tree.

Relax.
Winter is not following you.
It will be warm again in time for the weekend.

A Woods In May

Path at Caratunk

Go down the path (notice the violets.)

Bridge at Caratunk

Cross the first stream. There are more ahead.

Moss on rocks by the edge of a stream

Think about how happy you would be if you were moss.

small plants and moss by a root

Look: Small things.

Folds in the bark of a tree

Strange things.

Small red leaves

Fiddlehead Fern

New things.

Rocks in the path

Old spreading roots

Old things.

Broken boardwalk

Broken things.

A whole new tree.

Things which are no longer the things which they once were.
