What comes back. What we let back in. The long slow work of re-entering our own lives.

Return

A spring orbit. Something is loosening. This week we turn toward what is coming back, and what we are finally ready to let come back.

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,

hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees 

Early Spring

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.

The Thaw

The dream that was frozen 
Now fulfilled through writing
I see with writing even the dreams if cold and old will thaw out 
I thank the creator for allowing me to read and write.  
I never would expierence 
These lost lives with out literature 
My dreams are thawing though I still have “limitations!”
But I can play within them.
