late afternoon sun
shines into my little
study longer
another Spring
is given
a new river of
poems begins to flow
as I grow older
still reading by natural light
late afternoon sun
new library books
and wandering home
on all the roads
fields, spring air, sky
first red-winged blackbird
old weathered trees
in afternoon sun
seem so peaceful
why worry about leaves
not just yet
the sun is longer
and maybe warmer
and the sky is blue
