April Morning
(April 16, 1988)
Snow
in springtime:
April's warm days
vow summer is coming;
but winter hugs earth still,
counting dear its last, brief embraces.
We wake to find white over green,
today's thin red line much shorter than yesterday's;
and fear (despite our hopes) spring's promise is broken.
But the sun rises to the age-old challenge:
treks its way, revealing fresh wet green
amongst houses' and pines' white shadows.
The promise remains, but reminds:
summer's still far off;
April's warm days
are only
token.
