A May Morning

The potent spring dawn broken
By the burgeoning storm,
A tide of violet eclipsing the horizon.
The air, in thickening expectation
Bends to taunt the yawning earth.
Grasses stir from their dew-heavy slumber
Their entreaties received by the pregnant sky.
In placid air the birdsong
Stilled, replaced by thunder’s
Sonorous roar and the branching
Fiery crack of light
--- that tremulous vein.
As the first ample drops collide
With windshields and wilderlands,
The silent praises of mouse and man

Rise as earth receives its consolation.
