Homage To a Daffodil
Planted in the golden phase
A solitary corm in cooling ground
Dormant during barren times
When wintry depths are transient
New light awakes the sleeping soil
The fresh green blade greets warmer climes
While earth arises yet again
To conspire with sun and rain
Pierced fragile breeze by turgid spear
As nearer to a celestial glory
Its beauty begins to unfold
Faint yellow begs for sweet release
With final burst of bloom and flourish
This golden trumpet exudes a fanfare
And heralds a stately entrance
That makes old Helios proud
Marked yellow dots sheaths of green
relief for new beginnings
With sad winter fading fast
The humble corm transformed
