Living Treasures

Every year in March
I wait by the bare earth
for any little sighting of new birth
and the ever increasing joy of 
abundance.

First there is a tiny sign
growing higher,
then a white tip and a white stem
then one always comes first
One
beautiful little crocus
showing itself 
and growing itself 
in a day to be a little mauve bud
then an open bloom,
then a few little buds around
and finally the sound
of me cheering
the happy family...

Pink Love Shining Brightly
