thorn
in the poppy bed
there’s a stubborn weed
i never can seem to kill
i suppose i could say
i suppose i could
say nothing happened today

midway up the hill

is dressed for spring
a gown of bridal white blossoms
shielding leafless branches.

Returned to sister winter
But my hands are
As cold as ice …
o Love ever-burning
Who will lift the shroud of night

overcome death’s with’ring blight
deign our wounded hearts to heal?
wherever there is
here is a hand for you. it is here
and you are there, wherever there is.

considering the lilies
the angel does not his own image praise
nor does the bloom amid green-bladed grass
petals
the spring-glad trees
have loosed their blossoms
