Being Ready.
See the March sun wedging its roundness
through gaps in grey clouds,
shouldering drench away from flowering.
See the fresh buds writhing as half-opened
colour expects warmth's
bold impregnation felt to be potent.
See the bare-branches upwardly meshing
as seething with stretch
greenness reshapes its abundant tresses.
See the hedgerows dance without moving,
as wild blossom-heads loosen
and nod to Spring's evocative music.
See the ground flush with myriad pleasures
and enter dimensions where
success is measured by being ready.
