Gentle Tread of Spring
redbud blooms quietly
as I sleep through last frost
at first blush of dawn

soaring as it soars
wisteria blooms
outside in soft morning light–
my soul company

until we knew love
our breathless breath
lifted us
into rainbows
in its gurgling sprint
toward the sea
this river into which
I empty love’s ashes—
