my window on the world
Window Wednesday
In the calm-
The trees stand, transformed into yellow slips
before the overskirt of green is laid on.
I can't think of a softer view
then the one Spring gives to me tonight
even though more verdant days
lie just over the end of Mays calendar.
Summer sun and blowsy color await.
But this soft night, quiet, brushed on, tapped,
waits for whispered prayers, for loving thoughts
until the stars mingle with the trees
in their yellow slips.-
