Notes About The Poem

Spring Landscape

the forest I love is letting go
           of winter
and the lake has flooded
       and trees seem to be
growing out of water
        oh, I find it hauntingly lovely
   everything is stark and still 
in hues of brown and faded green
        at first glance decaying
  but the dripping branches are waking
    in a beautiful melancholy and hushed
              landscape
        and ducks float here and there
  where  they should not be floating
and nature is in transition
             oh, soon ... so soon
  as the drum of time rolls and rolls
     the forest will be lush
and green and full of new life
                 again
