Waiting for Spring


Our love has lost the battle to hatred    

It is the bitter winter of our relationship 


Words of love have been exhausted 

Only hostile comments are left


Let silence and time be the healers

To assuage our discontent


Allow our resentments 

To fall like autumn leaves


Let the icy anger quietly thaw

As we begin another spring 



 

Dandelion Mission


Dandelion seeds 

Tiny delicate parachutes

Are swept by the wind

On a mission 


They drift through the spring sky  

Venturing far and wide

To sow new life

In waiting soil


Among the grass

They dauntlessly take root

And soon they bloom   

An invasion of golden beauty
