'Patience' gives time for the seed to germinate;
the song to reveal itself, the morphing of unity,
a symbiosis of voice and ear, heart and mind.

Warm Vanilla scent
Drifts from Christmas kitchen
Bringing back my youth

Seven and two fives
Parsed and added carefully
Just make seventeen

Rainy winter sky
Dripping down the windowpane
Paints a broken heart

Sleeping daffodils
Cozy in their buried bulbs
Wait for springtime sun
