The Awakening Day

gentle as
a mother’s kiss
the touch of dawn

Joy

new eyes saw
a giving world’s
abundance of blessings

Awakened

the brambles stir
branches pulse
with spring’s life force

First Light

morning hunt
the field awakens
and so the give and take

Goddess’ Gift

ruby red traces
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love

Each Day New

the day wakes
light yawns across the valley
creation is never done

Awakening

invisible
is the rousing
of the drowsy woods

April Morn

her snow blanket removed
the naked earth awakens
renewed, refreshed and ripe
