Air in the garden is lighter, my breath easier.

Two petite daffodils--
pure essence of yellow with a smell of heaven and early spring. They are the color of Amanda’s wool coat. A sprig of crocosmia adds her crimson headband. Air in the garden is lighter, my breath easier. I believe again in hope, vaccines, the future of our planet, goodwill, and good intentions. The potted buckeye tree, a seedling gift to my daughter from her preschool teacher, is almost ready to crack open its buds and unfurl such green new leaves. I want to suspend this tenderness of hope the way the hummingbird hovers near my face in a quiet vibration of wings. |
