Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
My son is sleeping
As night has taken over
This long week ending
Plant’s boisterousness
Speaking boldly in the spring
The bees are well fed
Sunlight on my skin
Fading into memory
Darkness approaches
At certain moments
<
p style=”font-family:"”>I understand Pandora
<
p style=”font-family:"”>And her empty box
As the daylight falls
And its moving through the trees
Springtime marches on
A night of poor sleep
Dawn without mercy moving
Relentless motion
<
p style=”font-family:"”>The cricket sings
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Biology’s siren song
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Silenced by the dawn
Today’s garden walk
With children’s delightful fun
The blessings of spring
These weird connections
Resurrection and rabbits?
And eggs with tie-dye?
May you find blessedness this day.
This audio dance
As I sit this Saturday
My ears rejoicing
