Almost Spring
the crooked dance soo-very long
line dance soo-very short
o know the flowers waltz
aspens' leaves shimmer
lizards leap
the snow fair flakes
to share
inner beings in spite of outer trappings
secret so simple
love is more verb than verbal
it is
the yellowgreen of springtime
rosy dawn in turquoise sky
bickering michael leaves
all blown together
ken's ears tuned to crashing waves
motherheart drumming shore
shortly before the rain
the smell of spring
