Cheer growth
beneath a heavy cloud cover,
Canada goose passes
overhead, while I
wander.
Wander,
behind a veil of rainy grey,
lens poised to capture life,
swallows swoop and
rise up.
Rise up,
over rushing waters, branch high
blackbirds huddle, demand
my attention:
focus.
Focus
reveals newness, buds breaking through,
colours promising that
chilly winds disperse,
cheer growth.
Cheer growth,
behind a veil of rainy grey
blackbirds huddle, demand
chilly winds disperse;
cheer growth.
