~After Cat Clyde
Spring is shedded skin,
train window blur,
thick blanketed clouds which
white-out winter’s mistakes.
Past tracks forgiven.
Bulbs in warm beds
stir awake without alarm.
The patient propagation
of young seeds by farmers’ arms.
Infant dreams must be fed.
All must transition
from winter’s dead
to the sunny place
interbred between the seasons.
Fast forward towards fruition.

Me, too. A run with my daughter today reminded me of how things are cyclical but always rolling forwards. Now, she is old enough to keep up. Soon, she will lap me. 💜 And so it goes…
