Purple Crocus
Reluctant Spring
Spring is definitely delayed –
one feels as if it may
never come,
but we can dream
of heavenly hours in new light
and warm breezes that
caress bountiful blossoms.
No need to kick and whine,
spring always keeps its promise
and will eventually arrive.

Purple Crocus
All Systems Go
The shine of quarter moon
fades into new light
from fire of rising sun.
Mist, a white shroud,
hovers as a gaseous vapor
above lake’s thinning ice.
Nature puts on the other shoe
with all systems set
to go towards spring.
