spring’s finally here
with less than usual fanfare
are our hearts less glad

shall we grieve for what’s missing
or be thankful for what we have

finally redbuds
announcing spring’s arrival
a good day to die

fading so quickly
beauty is here then is gone
those who blink miss out

some may call it illusion
less time doesn’t mean less real

old farmhouse bulldozed
homesteads become tract housing
the land lies unloved
rootless people blow away
scattered where the winds take them
