An Early April Sunday



Sunshine: watery, timid, and weak.
But gentle and loving as it kisses my cheek.

,


Landscape: crunchy, brown stubble in the flower beds.
But beneath green nubbins are poking up heads.

Bird serenades:  sweet and extraordinarily at their best,
As they lure lovers to their nests.

Mr. and Mrs. Robin:  doing a courting dance
A new crop of babies will have a chance.

My vision: are there really tiny buds on the branches I see?
Or only my longing - my fantasy.

For I had come to accept a forever winter
like my old age.
As a permanent condition    - no reason to rage.
