April days
snow and rain
gardens grow


April days
snow and rain
gardens grow
lily plants bloom
in the house
snowdrops
in the yard
and books to read
small gifts
on a Monday
in late November
new buds grow
on the Christmas cactus
colder weather
time for an old coat
(and I don’t know how old)
that works well
with an old sweater
grey green Saturday
sky and tree branches
study window view
early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know
