First Picking

The wooden water wheel is gone
so the stream rushes down a worn slope
splashing under a board bridge.


Beneath a cedar,
yellow blooms
lean into the sunshine.

A softness in the air,
not felt in months,
makes breathing a joy.

Vases are waiting in the kitchen
to be filled with the first picking
of the season’s jonquils.  

Baby green grass and
the dog running freely
resonate the sweetness of spring.
