A Spring Poem For All Reasons
Today
Be a flower *
Or pick a flower *
Or just look at a flower *
Picture a flower *
See it in your hair *
In your beard *
Tangled in your fuzzy places ***
Look at all these strangers
Look at them like flowers
Fragile
Striving
Wilting
Look at them again *
Look at them *

Hello there you lovely seedlings, saplings, and majestic, old-growth forests. I’m not sure how y’all managed to squeeze down here into the junk drawer, but you know you’re always welcome.
An especially big thank you to the cedars, sweet jasmines, pines, and hyacinths and all your aromatic siblings. It was getting a little musty in here and you always bring me a breath of fresh perspective. That’s the topic of the day — perspective — and redirecting it through the lenses of empathy and imagination.
