To Stay In the Here and Now
From the glaze of winter's mantle
Springtime hues seem longer than time's wait,
As the nip of icy breezes
Faintly frosts each slant of grass.
Yet for all I crave the fresh rustle
Of sweet April's lustrous days,
Who could not rejoice in watching
December's view starting to gleam?
That in this very clear moment
I embrace the merry flakes on my skin,
Relishing a season's hum of contentment
Imbued with lyre of a choir's prayer;
As every glassed petal enthralls my eyes
Bearing soil and tinting my garden
Gold, red as flamed poinsettias
While I hold this place of here and now,
If only to cherish this fleeting wonder.
