It comes From the East, rising Dawn and down return Pollen flight courtship Green shoots Buds, bated breath await All legs hurry up Eyes are wide Honeydew Smell fills the night air Insects hum Moonlit garden song One Then two Pitter-patter Soon, winter rages in blizzard. Ice cracks, then weeps into streams. Like our hearts – bound by cycles. Light bring thaw Seeds hide in Dark fractures Sky above Watches Us Learn to fall Rise Again Moth maestro Spring garden symphony Song of the lark Joins in too Stork clouds Thinning leaves fade Days stretch into memory Blossoms court rain Verdant boughs Youthful trembling Cherry petals drop Life death dance Harvested and hushed fields bow low to winters breath Sleeping once more No ending lingers Beneath the patient dark earth Forever reborn
