Devotion
seed time and blackthorn hedges dusted off winter
hibernation lost its sleepy crown and laid to rest
inward turn of events that simmered in the cold
as daffodils shed their woolen hats and mittens
opened their crowns to bluebell’s wedding vows
a violet haze rose from the mist in lavender bloom
witness to the union of undying warmth made in heaven
crocus offered saffron and danced to poppy’s delight
stinging nettle though uninvited lured butterflies
blue skies applauded
not a single cloud in sight -
loved tender kiss
I take you my sacred partner for better or worse
poorer and richer impermanent and until the end
for when we are dead we still had springs in our step
holy word showers
love pure kindness compassion -
a canvas of bliss
