daffodil

In This Liminal Time

each morning
with the flowers
sweet dreams linger

the rock garden
a riot of color
bursting into bloom

first visit
to the feeder
bright as a daffodil

daffodil’s humility
amplifies
her magnificence

the daffodil
shares her smile
offering much needed cheerfulness

pheasant’s eye
cries
raindrop tears

basking in
May’s golden light
juxtaposed by shadow

bulb garden
in the door yard
the outside’s invitation in

the smiling eyes
of daffodils
early girls of spring

the promise
always kept
spring’s return

robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy

my rising sun
the light by which I know
spring has begun

Mirror of beauty,
trumpet of spring –
narcissus oh narcissus.
