swirling gusts scatter
yesterday’s joy under feet
blossom covered path
swirling gusts scatter
yesterday’s joy under feet
blossom covered path
snow white blooms give way
redbird notes highlight new green
too soon the silence
colorful plumage
flocks breaking into pairs
ashes on foreheads
always travelling
i stop the clock to savor
crown of daffodils
horizontal sun
lighting stage for mating rite
cottonwood ballet
