The Gathering

As the morning frost recedes

     life abounds all around,

              In wait;

yellow grasses, shrubs, maples, and oaks 

      promise an impossible,

         spectrum of green,  

    birds of every sort gather

            in celebration

  their sweet melodies carried

        by a cool breeze

             beckon

new life, new hopes, new dreams;

           new possibilities 

    in this intimate moment

             of all time
