and again

from my heart comes 
songs of wonder
as days emerge

again the world is light
whirled very green--
every understory 

claiming back each wan 
winter moment
to silence

returning them as a jubilee
of buds tight at the heart
of growing things

their excited celebration
the crooning I use 
to soothe 

human, animal, vegetal,
--all the children
to sleep, leap--

into memory--like starlight--
born from something 
years ago

yet blossoming... arriving
just in this moment
for me
