silver mapled path
white bridalwreath spirea …
springtiming me home
you are my solace
and hope for my sanity—
amen and amen
tiny birds twitter
honey locust’s bright plumage …
quiet midday walk
white walnut buds wait
for buckeye and hawthorne blooms—
late snow on the peak
suddenly, dog turns
faces the wind driven rain—
snowy times have passed
