a drive

I saw Spring today


the sky was lit with dusk as I drove home at 8
there is a pick haze on the trees

I saw Spring today

a gangly sunflower stands on my window sill
three markers stand guard over neat rows of seeds in the garden

I saw Spring today

fat, pale green leaf buds decorate dull gray branches
3 inch spikes of green stubbornly stand tall along the walk

I saw Spring today

several fat, saucy robins march around the yard
the rain patters and comes down softly and sweetly

I saw Spring today
Really!! I did!
