Spring

spring

I speak here of springtime in New Zealand.
*
Of all the seasons of the year
Spring causes me to wonder,
what magic in each dormant seed
awakes, out of itself,
takes root and grows apace.
*
Changing in form to slender stalk,
bearing aloft to Summer suns
a multiplying, delicate, golden spray
ripening to a golden cluster,
making visible the invisible.
*
A picture, of what we’re meant to be,
treading our path from infancy,
onwards to eternity,
experiencing, learning,
widening influence bearing,
the visible made invisible,
in Spring.

Winter

winter

A time, a season,
Autumn and Spring between,
a song, a hymn, a place,
a kind of viewing.
*
Maybe a person, cut off…
tasting suspended days
of average normalcy,
separated, withdrawn
hidden a while to self and others,
a temporary island
in a pool of mixed emotion.
*
Winter can be a kind of
personal hibernation...
As the ground lies fallow
for restoration,
with the uplifting thought
of Spring … just around the corner.
