Knowing Where


Click to expand.

i know where

and there they are

first violets of spring

halberd leaved and velvet mawed

the closer i climb to the cabin

the more of them find me

and joy fills the hollow


we cannot be filled as the master said

unless we are first emptied

and if we know where

fulfillment awaits

we really should go there more often.



May apples rise among halbred-leafed violets
