Spring Inspiration

A Circumstance of Growth

Th ere is an enormous logIn back of our house, In front of an old cottage, Beside a grove of ferns.

It was once a great cedar Cut down long aft er its prime, Left to decompose unnoticed, And to deteriorate carelessly.

Th e log is a jumble of lichens and Little blue and yellow whatevers, Purple strands and green soft ness Creeping all over its decay. It is home for more than many aCreature that loves the wretched And the crumbling. Creatures that We don’t want near our house.

Admirers come from far and nearTo see what is new on the old. Th e log, an opportunity like mostOpportunities, is odd in its presentation, Misinterpreted in its appearance, But forgiving with our appreciationAnd fl ourishing with our acceptance.

Earlene Grey

Enoch Walked Steadily With GodAnd Th en One Day,He Was Simply Gone; God Took Him.

I walked today and went for miles,Cultivation that Should be routine. It is spring and the sun is out, Making the temperature just warm Enough so that one doesn’t need To wrap against the elements, butNot so hot that one is annoyed.

I was looking down at the road,Pondering the past as we too oft en do. When I happened to look up, As we don’t oft en do nearly enough, I marveled at the crowds of trees with Birds dashing and chirping from one to anotherOf the myriad of brown and green perch choices.

Th ere are wondrous things to notice on a walk.

What an incredible passing, I thought,Either now or when it is time. To walk In the transition of spring,From this world into the next. Let me just leave my body behind And then carry on with the walking that Should be routine.
