irrepressible joy

Posted on March 15, 2022 by The Course of Our Seasons
Reply
I've come home
after wandering in deserts
of all those possibilities 
I've come to a place 
that makes no sense on paper
it is illogical 
probably reckless 
even foolish
at my great age
to move a thousand miles
to a cottage and garden
in which angels dance
with irrepressible joy

im-perfection

I stand
barefoot
on warming ground
knowing I no longer have dreams

only this world
bloody and undone
as afterbirth

a creation too imperfect
in its perfection
to allow for dreams
of peace

setting course

resisting all nonsense of calendars
and charts
I navigate my small craft
of hope and magnolia bloom
toward all things green
and growing

I have set my course
for Spring
and life in all its wonder

I am grateful

For what little peace there is in the world
I am grateful

for courage and hope and love
I am grateful

for daffodils on the first of March
I am grateful

for little more than enough
I am grateful

for lost souls 
and steady friends and sweethearts 
and angels in disguise

I am grateful

step away

step away
just for a moment

lean back into the sun
rest your head gently
on the sky

all the worlds open
waiting for you to step away
and run down the meadow path
into the greening day

saving daylight

in the kitchen junk drawer
with old pens and chip clips
or mason jars on dusty cellar shelves
used for summers fireflies or falls pear preserves
or faded shoe boxes shoved under the bed
where treasures of sea shells
with bits of pale green sea glass are kept

where will all this daylight
be saved
from one year to the next?
