Notes About The Poem

poetry inspired by wood engravings of clare leighton  https://www.clareleighton.com/8654.htm

 

Found In April

hills exposed
       to no shade or
                            shelter
blunted by time
    seasons of abrupt
                movement
& appealing beauty

no sentimentality
no timidity
                symmetry with shapes
everything starting
noticing time
            with joy

our affection
       delighting
           in the intimate

at first       silence

so dense
      the gentle dawn
appears
        to welcome

a sudden rush
of wealth
       in a changed world
in bloom
bursting with blossom
flowering

a few hours of heat
         everywhere
eyes are motionless
the challenge
    of patience
                   begins
