The Golden Gifts

Today I see a family of crocus

just being still in the autumn air

with purple translucence shining through

as a welcome to

all who pass the past to bring the new

self-acceptance to each day,

expressing transformation

and blossoming in a true-Self way.

And now we have the divine plan

to live our time with simplicity

and breathe this transforming energy

as the ‘rain lily’ brings

brighter ways to our new days.

Crocus come from nowhere

without any leaves at flowering time

and it seems to me

blooms arise to explore

in a different ground than before.

Leaves came from where and when,

then

there seems to be a migration

as new lilies rise a little further away

than the previous years display.

Crocus bring the golden gifts,

the anthers graced in bright colour,

the Saffron spice, like no other

hand-picked treasure for the chosen few

who seek change to the positive new.
